Broadwell had sold his wife to a planter six miles from the city, andthat he had been to visit her, --that he went in the night, expecting toreturn before daylight, and went without his master's permission. Thepatrol had taken him up before he reached his wife. He was put in jail, and his master had to pay for his catching and keeping, and that waswhat he was tied up for. Just as he finished his story, Mr. Broadwell came in, and inquired whatI was doing there. I knew not what to say, and while ...I was thinking whatreply to make, he struck me over the head with the cowhide, the end ofwhich struck me over my right eye, sinking deep into the flesh, leavinga scar which I carry to this day. Before I visited Lewis, he hadreceived fifty lashes. Mr. Broadwell gave him fifty lashes more after Icame out, as I was afterwards informed by Lewis himself. The next day we proceeded to New Orleans, and put the gang in the samenegro-pen which we occupied before. In a short time, the planters cameflocking to the pen to purchase slaves.
