Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Henry Bibb, an American Slave, Written by Himself

CHAPTER XII
11/18

We walked off pretty fast until we got some distance in the woods.

Jack then stopped and opened his bag in which he had six small pigs.

I asked him how he got them without making any noise; and he said that he found a bed of hogs, in which there were the pigs with their mother.

While the pigs were sucking he crawled up to them without being discovered by the sow, and took them by their necks one after another, and choked them to death, and slipped them into his bag! We intended to travel on all that night and lay by the next day in the forest and cook up our pigs.

We fell into a large road leading on the direction which we were travelling, and had not proceeded over three miles before I found a white hat lying in the road before me.
