They were shut out from the world ; no Archimedean screw dis- turbed the peaceful waters of their bay, and they received their Lisbon letters at rare and accidental periods. Chap. XXI. ] VOLCANIC FLOWER-GARDENS. 229 But San Thome was a go-ahead island, because it possessed one go-ahead man — Pereira. The soil was fertile ; he wanted to till it; for that he wanted men; for men he must have slaves. He had been in the habit of receiving them over from Loanda, where they were packed on boar(i the m...ail in a manacled state, and reg- istered as passengers. But the treaty specially prohibiting the conveyance of slaves from one colony to another, this was put a stop to. It certainly seems hard that slaves might not be sent from a land where they were not required, to an adjoining terri- tory where they could be turned to account ; but so the treaty stood, and so it was enforced. Pereira was now doing a smart trade with the Cape Lopez country in cutters, and, taking them a boatful at a time, he accumulated multitudes.
