Consequently my uncle looked upon me as useless, and began to maltreat me again. They would have driven me away had they not been afraid that I might make my peace with society, and become a dangerous enemy to themselves. This was John's suggestion.
Two months I have been there engaged in this painful service checking, as I have best been able to do, the disposition to maltreat this unfortunate people.... On the whole I think I have been successful. The good people at Hong- Kong, &c., do not know whether to be incredulous or disgusted at this policy.... I am told a parcel of ridiculous stories about arming of Braves, &c.
Their new guide began to call to them in an incomprehensible manner, and said that the natives did not belong to his tribe, but were a very wicked people, who would beat them cruelly, and pull out their hair, and maltreat them in various ways. Despite this warning Mackenzie advanced, and soon found them to be quite as willing to accept of gifts as other tribes.
By all accounts these constitute a large proportion of the population, and it being treason for any low-born freeman to injure or maltreat a datu, the latter, who are of a haughty, overbearing, and tyrannical disposition, seldom keep themselves within bounds in their treatment of their inferiors.
"Why are the poor hungry? Why do not your flocks and herds multiply and increase? Why do ye maltreat the sire and kill the mother of many progenies." "Obey my Laws, and your flocks will equal in number the drops of water in the great Cataract, which ever flowing, ever merging in the mighty Ocean, is constantly supplied with new increase for the refreshment and delight of Montalluyah."
And he was just the sort of man to live on a woman's earnings just the one to cast the glove to fortune and of his desperation achieve the final madness. No, no, he must leave London. The city had done with him he had never been so sure of anything in all his life. It was an heroic resolution, and shame that hunger should so maltreat it.
Although the Indians did not maltreat the unfortunate strangers who had thus fallen into their hands, they made them proceed by forced marches through the wilderness; and as neither Barney nor Martin had been of late much used to long walks, they felt the journey very severely.
They starve their horses from mere carelessness or laziness, spur them mercilessly, when the jaded, famished things almost drop from exhaustion, ride them with great sores under the saddles, and with their bodies deeply cut with the rough girths; and though horses are not regarded as more essential in any part of the world, they neglect and maltreat them in every way, and laugh scornfully if one shows any consideration for them.
Just as there would be if presently he were to maltreat a fallen German airman. There was anger in their vileness. These Germans were an unsubtle people, a people in the worst and best sense of the words, plain and honest; they were prone to moral indignation; and moral indignation is the mother of most of the cruelty in the world.
To defraud, oppress, and maltreat the freedmen seems to be the principle governing the action of more than half of those who make contracts with them. The lives of the freedmen are frequently threatened, and murders are not of uncommon occurrence.
