He
received
numerous
congratulations
.
Alvez
made
a
grimace
at
the
fifty
per
cent
.
of
slaves
failing
in
the
general
count
,
but
,
on
the
whole
,
the
affair
was
very
satisfactory
.
With
what
the
trader
possessed
of
human
merchandise
in
his
pens
,
he
could
satisfy
the
demands
from
the
interior
,
and
barter
slaves
for
ivory
teeth
and
those
"
hannas
"
of
copper
,
a
kind
of
St.
Andrew
's
cross
,
in
which
form
this
metal
is
carried
into
the
center
of
Africa
.
The
overseers
were
also
complimented
.
As
for
the
porters
,
the
trader
gave
orders
that
their
salary
should
be
immediately
paid
them
.
Jose-Antonio
Alvez
and
Coimbra
spoke
a
kind
of
Portuguese
mingled
with
a
native
idiom
,
which
a
native
of
Lisbon
would
scarcely
have
understood
.
Dick
Sand
could
not
hear
what
these
merchants
were
saying
.
Were
they
talking
of
him
and
his
companions
,
so
treacherously
joined
to
the
persons
in
the
convoy
?
The
young
man
could
not
doubt
it
,
when
,
at
a
gesture
from
the
Arab
,
Ibn
Hamis
,
an
overseer
,
went
toward
the
pen
where
Tom
,
Austin
,
Bat
and
Acteon
had
been
shut
up
.
Almost
immediately
the
four
Americans
were
led
before
Alvez
.
Dick
Sand
slowly
approached
.
He
wished
to
lose
nothing
of
this
scene
.
Alvez
's
face
lit
up
at
the
sight
of
these
few
well-made
blacks
,
to
whom
rest
and
more
abundant
food
had
promptly
restored
their
natural
vigor
.
He
looked
with
contempt
at
old
Tom
,
whose
age
would
affect
his
value
,
but
the
other
three
would
sell
high
at
the
next
Kazounde
sale
.
Alvez
remembered
a
few
English
words
which
some
agents
,
like
the
American
,
Harris
,
had
taught
him
,
and
the
old
monkey
thought
he
would
ironically
welcome
his
new
slaves
.
Tom
understood
the
trader
's
words
;
he
at
once
advanced
,
and
,
showing
his
companions
,
said
:
"
We
are
free
men
--
citizens
of
the
United
States
.
"
Alvez
certainly
understood
him
;
he
replied
with
a
good-humored
grimace
,
wagging
his
head
:
