Mr. Fell did so, and promised the chief handsome presents... if he let him take me on board with him ; but Abokko was stiff and insolent, and refused to let me go a foot till the value of ;^iooo was paid down, Mr. Fell having satisfied himself as to the extravagant nature of the charge demanded, determined not to give such a covetous rebel against his own King encourage- ment to do worse in future, the more so as men of like stamp with himself would be encouraged to act in like manner ; boats employed in communication between one trading establishment and another would be seized upon, and the plunderers' next step would be to set any value they might fancy on the crew of such a boat for their release, which would be, indeed, another kind of slave traffic in the persons of British subjects.
