And it was worth while to remark, that these grievous sufferings were not owing either to want of care on the part of the owners, or to any negligence or harshness of the captain; for Mr.Wilson declared, that his ship was as well fitted out, and the crew and slaves as well treated, as any body could reasonably expect.
He would now go to another ship.

That, in which Mr.Claxton sailed as a surgeon, afforded a repetition of all the horrid circumstances which had been described.

Suicide was attempted, and effected; and the same barbarous expedients were adopted to compel the slaves to continue an existence, which they considered as too painful to be endured.

The mortality also was as great.

And yet here again the captain was in no wise to blame.
