The
slave
trade
was
still
carried
on
,
on
a
large
scale
,
in
all
equinoctial
Africa
.
Notwithstanding
the
English
and
French
cruisers
,
ships
loaded
with
slaves
leave
the
coasts
of
Angola
and
Mozambique
every
year
to
transport
negroes
to
various
parts
of
the
world
,
and
,
it
must
be
said
,
of
the
civilized
world
.
Captain
Hull
was
not
ignorant
of
it
.
Though
these
parts
were
not
ordinarily
frequented
by
slave-ships
,
he
asked
himself
if
these
blacks
,
whose
salvage
he
had
just
effected
,
were
not
the
survivors
of
a
cargo
of
slaves
that
the
"
Waldeck
"
was
going
to
sell
to
some
Pacific
colony
.
At
all
events
,
if
that
was
so
,
the
blacks
became
free
again
by
the
sole
act
of
setting
foot
on
his
deck
,
and
he
longed
to
tell
it
to
them
.
Meanwhile
the
most
earnest
care
had
been
lavished
on
the
shipwrecked
men
from
the
"
Waldeck
.
"
Mrs.
Weldon
,
aided
by
Nan
and
Dick
Sand
,
had
administered
to
them
a
little
of
that
good
fresh
water
of
which
they
must
have
been
deprived
for
several
days
,
and
that
,
with
some
nourishment
,
sufficed
to
restore
them
to
life
.
The
eldest
of
these
blacks
--
he
might
be
about
sixty
years
old
--
was
soon
able
to
speak
,
and
he
could
answer
in
English
the
questions
which
were
addressed
to
him
.
"
The
ship
which
carried
you
was
run
into
?
"
asked
Captain
Hull
,
first
of
all
.
"
Yes
,
"
replied
the
old
black
.
"
Ten
days
ago
our
ship
was
struck
,
during
a
very
dark
night
.
We
were
asleep
--
--
"
"
But
the
men
of
the
'
Waldeck
'
--
what
has
become
of
them
?
"
"
They
were
no
longer
there
,
sir
,
when
my
companions
and
I
reached
the
deck
.
"
"
Then
,
was
the
crew
able
to
jump
on
board
the
ship
which
struck
the
