Many of them, while the ships are wait- ing for their full lading in sight of their native shore, manifest great appearance of distress and oppression ; and some instances have occurred where they have sought relief by suicide, and others where they have been afflicted with delirium and madness. — In the day time, if the weather be fine, they are brought upon deck for air. They are placed in a long row of two and two together, on each side of the siiip, a long chain is then made to pass through... the shackles of each pair, and by this means each row is secured to the deck. In this state tliey eat their miserable meals, consisting of horse beans, rice and yams, with a little pepper and palm oil. — After their meals, it is a custom to make them jump for exercise as high as tiieir fetters will allow them : and if they refuse they are whipped until they comply. This the slave merchants call danc- injT ; and it would seem literally to be the dance of death. When the number of slaves is completed, the ships begin what is called the middle passage, to transport the slaves to the colonies.
