CHAPTER XVIII
19/31

I found also the names of Michael Cunningham and of Paul Berry, whom he had mentioned.

It was obvious also that Ormond's account of the captain of the Alfred being on board at the time of the punishment, tallied with that given me at Bristol by an officer of that vessel, and that his account of letting down Peter Green into the boat tallied with that, which Mr.
Falconbridge, as I mentioned before, had heard from the king and the black traders in Bonny river.
When he came to me next day, he came in high spirits.

He said he had found out the man whom I had seen.

The man, however, when he talked to him about the murder of Peter Green, acknowledged every thing concerning it.

Ormond intimated that this man was to sail again in the same ship under the promise of being an officer, and that he had been kept on board, and had been enticed to a second voyage, for no other purpose than that he might be prevented from divulging the matter.
