The slaves were much fatigued, and showed great discontent; several _snapt their fingers_, a certain mark of desperation.

They were all immediately put in irons, and those who had shown signs of despondency were kept apart.
In the morning, however, they were greatly recovered, except poor Nealee, who could neither walk nor stand, she was accordingly placed upon an ass, her hands being fastened together under the neck, and her feet under the belly, to secure her situation.

The beast, however, was unruly, and Nealee was soon thrown off, and one of her legs was much bruised.

As it was found impossible to carry her forward, the general cry of the coffle was, "_Kang tegi! kang tegi!_" (Cut her throat! cut her throat!) Mr.Park proceeded forwards with the foremost of the coffle, to avoid seeing this operation performed, but soon after he learned that Karfa and the schoolmaster would not agree to have her killed, but had left her on the road.

Her fate diffused melancholy throughout the whole coffle, notwithstanding the outcry before mentioned, and the schoolmaster fasted the whole day in consequence of it.
