and the sea rushed in through the gaping scam. The desperate slaves, handed together, rnslicd against the par- titions which confined them, or trampling down the weakest, made a platform of their bodies, and heat their letters against the decks above them. The seamen, worn out at the pumps, left them. The ship, they said, wanted lightening. The captain laughed devilishly as he caught their words. " Ha ! ha !" he raved, " we'll lighten the ship and quiet those noisy fellows down here together. N...ow- run out a plank there : so, so. There shall be a clean ship, if we're caught at last. " The slaves were ordered up on deck by half-dozens. They complied with alacrity, believing that they should be saved from the waters that rose around them, reaching now almost to the necks of those who were stowed lowest. They came, to meet a more certain and speedy death. The captain's hoarse voice was heard above the how ling of the storm : " If they resist, kill them, and throw their bodies overboard. " All shared the same fate ; there was no dis- tinction of sex or age.
