All the coolness, savage barbarity and freedom from moral restraint, which are necessary in the character of a pirate-chief, centered, I think, in this man Gore.

Among many other deeds of shocking cruelty which he perpetrated, while I was at Mr.
Lloyd's, was the murder of a young colored man, named Denby.

He was sometimes called Bill Denby, or Demby; (I write from sound, and the sounds on Lloyd's plantation are not very certain.) I knew him well.

He was a powerful young man, full of animal spirits, and, so far as I know, he was among the most valuable of Col.

Lloyd's slaves.
