Happily the free settlers saw him in his chains; and they recovered him, before he was conveyed to the ship.
To mark still more forcibly the scenes of misery, to which the Slave-trade gave birth, he would mention a case stated to him in a letter by King Naimbanna.

It had happened to this respectable person, in no less than three instances, to have some branches of his family kidnapped, and carried off to the West Indies.

At one time three young men, Corpro, Banna, and Marbrour, were decoyed on board a Danish slave-ship, under pretence of buying something, and were taken away.

At another time another relation piloted a vessel down the river.

He begged to be put on shore, when he came opposite to his own town; but he was pressed to pilot her to the river's mouth.
