One day, all our people were gone out to their works as usual, and only I and my dear sister were left to mind the house. Two men and a woman got over our walls, and in a moment seized us both. Without giving us time to cry out, or make resistance, they stopped our mouths, and ran off with us into the nearest wood. Here they tied our hands, and continued to carry us.

… I looked round the ship and saw a large furnace of copper boiling.
… Black people of every description were chained together, every one of their countenances expressing dejection and sorrow.

I asked if we were not to be eaten by those white men with horrible looks, red faces and long hair?
