s fter fny getting clear of the land, and that this was the General’s wish. On the morning of the twenty-eighth or November, the Captain of the Port informed me, that I had General La Cross’s permifTion to proceed to sea Without any of the negroes. When I proceeded to dear out my VefTel : as as the duties amounted to confiderabie I had fufpertded this, thinking it prudent that aIJ should be fettled firfl refpe&ing the negroes, having put little confidence in the fervanes of •Government. On the evening of the 29th I put my pass on board the commodore’s ship, who gave permission to proceed j accordingly I weighed anchor, and while making fail the man of war’s boat came along fide, with orders not to pro ceed to sea tilt morning The next morning early I weighed anchor, and proceeded to ica, at which time the national schooner Mofambique,capt. Lucas, also weighed anchor and flood after me. This was on Monday, and she continued chafing us until Wednesday morning, December the firfl, at eight o’clock, A. M. Dogg Island then bearing north three leagues diflance, when the schooner hoisted a broad national pendant and fiied a gun to leward, which 1 took no notice of; knowing that he could not fuppofeusa flranger : soon after he fired a (hot near to us when I hove to he then run up along fide and ordered me to fend my boat on board with my papers. Being unwell myfelf, at that time, I lent my mate with the velTel’s papers with orders not to receive any negroes, being suspicious that that was intended : immediately on the mate’s getting on board the Mofambique, he was takfn below by captain Lucas, under pretence of looking at the papers, where he remained probably ten minutes, when he was ordered to return on board rny vefTel, but on going into his boat, he found three negroes in her. He then told captain Lucas it w'as againfl his orders to take any negroes on board the Argo, and requeued the use of a trumpet to speak with me, which captain Lucas refufed him, making use of the mod abusive language, and bidding him go on board and to make fail im mediately, and proceed c!ire<stly on his course ; threatening, if he should find the brig again among the ifiands, to fink us: which orders I was compelled to obey. Tie negroes brought onboardfufneient provisions for fix or seven days, and laid they were told by captain Lucas, (who is said to be nephew to General La Cross) that the l>efl of provisions and wine were pievioufly put on board my vessel for their use. One of the negroes, from what I could learn, was a principal chief of the brigands, who capitulated with Gen, La Cross about tert days previous to my failing, and is a man of great a&ivity and intrigue : one of the other two is said to have been commandant at Basseterre, where the negroes firfl rose, and the third to be a jfervant to the other two. After receiving the negroes on board, I made the befl of my way for Boflon,my deflin cd port, where 1 arrived fafe the 29th Dec. in the year of our Lord one thouland eight hundred and two •, and the negroes took their liberty, and quitted the brig Argo, under my -command, BENJAMIN CUSHING.
