As soon as he mentioned Calabar, a kind of horror came over me.
His name became directly associated in my mind with the place.

It almost instantly occurred to me, that he commanded the Edgar out of Liverpool, when the dreadful massacre there, as has been related, took place.
Indeed I seemed to be so confident of it, that, attending more to my feelings than to my reason at this moment, I accused him with being concerned in it.

This produced great confusion among us.

For he looked incensed at Captain Chaffers, as if he had introduced me to him for this purpose.

Captain Chaffers again seemed to be all astonishment that I should have known of this circumstance, and to be vexed that I should have mentioned it in such a manner.
