Once serve board man-of-war; cappen kind, sailors kind; but me went on shore to see me fadder, modder, me brodder, me sister; but dey all get catchee, an' all de oder people run 'way, an' dey take me for slavee."
"Who is this robber chief; have you been able to learn anything about him?" asked Roger. "He called Sheik Beirouc, great man in his own country; me fear he make us all slavee," answered Jumbo. "Tell him that we would pay him well if he will liberate us and send us back to England," said Stephen. "He no trust us till he see de money in his hand," answered Jumbo, "and dat de difficulty."
Though the chief hitherto treated them with more humanity, still, as might have been expected, they felt that they were slaves, and they asked Jumbo to make inquiries. "Yes, we all slavee," he said. "Beirouc, he make us work; he sell us." Jumbo brought them further intelligence that they were not to remain at their present station long.
