But this only enraged him themore; and he continued to swear, and said he would soon let me knowwhether he would or not, and at that instant sprung himself into thebarge from the ship, to the astonishment and sorrow of all on board. The tide, rather unluckily for me, had just turned downward, so thatwe quickly fell down the river along with it, till we came among someoutwar...d-bound West Indiamen; for he was resolved to put me on boardthe first vessel he could get to receive me. The boat's crew, whopulled against their will, became quite faint different times, andwould have gone ashore; but he would not let them. Some of them strovethen to cheer me, and told me he could not sell me, and that theywould stand by me, which revived me a little; and I still entertainedhopes; for as they pulled along he asked some vessels to receive me, but they could not. But, just as we had got a little below Gravesend, we came alongside of a ship which was going away the next tide for theWest Indies; her name was the Charming Sally, Captain James Doran; andmy master went on board and agreed with him for me; and in a littletime I was sent for into the cabin.
