Had he enteredupon his situation of his own free will, he could have endured it; butto have been deceived, and, in addition to that, forced into it, wasintolerable. He made every effort to go home in our ship, but hiscaptain refused to part with him except in the way of exchange, andthat he could not effect. If this account of the whole matter, whichwe had from the boy, and which was confirmed by all the crew, becorrect, I cannot understand why Captain Arthur should have refused tolet him go, e...specially being a captain who had the name, not only withthat crew, but with all whom he had ever commanded, of an unusuallykind-hearted man.
The truth is, the unlimited power which merchant captains have, uponlong voyages on strange coasts, takes away a sense of responsibility, and too often, even in men otherwise well-disposed, substitutes adisregard for the rights and feelings of others. The lad was sent onshore to join the gang at the hide-house; from whence, I was afterwardsrejoiced to hear, he effected his escape, and went down to Callao in asmall Spanish schooner; and from Callao, he probably returned toEngland.
