At
a
sign
from
the
Portuguese
,
the
natives
drew
back
,
raised
Harris
's
corpse
and
carried
it
away
.
Alvez
and
Coimbra
demanded
Dick
Sand
's
immediate
death
,
but
Negoro
said
to
them
in
a
low
voice
that
they
would
lose
nothing
by
waiting
.
The
order
was
given
to
take
away
the
young
novice
,
with
a
caution
not
to
lose
sight
of
him
for
a
moment
.
Dick
Sand
had
seen
Negoro
for
the
first
time
since
their
departure
from
the
coast
.
He
knew
that
this
wretch
was
alone
responsible
for
the
loss
of
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
He
ought
to
hate
him
still
more
than
his
accomplices
.
And
yet
,
after
having
struck
the
American
,
he
scorned
to
address
a
word
to
Negoro
.
Harris
had
said
that
Mrs.
Weldon
and
her
child
had
succumbed
.
Nothing
interested
him
now
,
not
even
what
they
would
do
with
him
.
They
would
send
him
away
.
Where
?
It
did
not
matter
.
Dick
Sand
,
heavily
chained
,
was
left
on
the
floor
of
a
pen
without
a
window
,
a
kind
of
dungeon
where
the
trader
,
Alvez
,
shut
up
the
slaves
condemned
to
death
for
rebellion
or
unlawful
acts
.
There
he
could
no
longer
have
any
communication
with
the
exterior
;
he
no
longer
dreamed
of
regretting
it
.
He
had
avenged
those
whom
he
loved
,
who
no
longer
lived
.
Whatever
fate
awaited
him
,
he
was
ready
for
it
.
It
will
be
understood
that
if
Negoro
had
stopped
the
natives
who
were
about
to
punish
Harris
's
murderer
,
it
was
only
because
he
wished
to
reserve
Dick
Sand
for
one
of
those
terrible
torments
of
which
the
natives
hold
the
secret
.
The
ship
's
cook
held
in
his
power
the
captain
of
fifteen
years
.
He
only
wanted
Hercules
to
make
his
vengeance
complete
.
Two
days
afterward
,
May
28th
,
the
sale
began
,
the
great
"
lakoni
,
"
during
which
the
traders
of
the
principal
factories
of
the
interior
would
meet
the
natives
of
the
neighboring
provinces
.
This
market
was
not
specially
for
the
sale
of
slaves
,
but
all
the
products
of
this
fertile
Africa
would
be
gathered
there
with
the
producers
.
From
early
morning
all
was
intense
animation
on
the
vast
"
tchitoka
"
of
Kazounde
,
and
it
is
difficult
to
give
a
proper
idea
of
the
scene
.
It
was
a
concourse
of
four
or
five
thousand
persons
,
including
Alvez
's
slaves
,
among
whom
were
Tom
and
his
companions
.
These
four
men
,
for
the
reason
that
they
belonged
to
a
different
race
,
are
all
the
more
valuable
to
the
brokers
in
human
flesh
.
Alvez
was
there
,
the
first
among
all
.
Attended
by
Coimbra
,
he
offered
the
slaves
in
lots
.
These
the
traders
from
the
interior
would
form
into
caravans
.
Among
these
traders
were
certain
half-breeds
from
Oujiji
,
the
principal
market
of
Lake
Tanganyika
,
and
some
Arabs
,
who
are
far
superior
to
the
half-breeds
in
this
kind
of
trade
.
The
natives
flocked
there
in
great
numbers
.
There
were
children
,
men
,
and
women
,
the
latter
being
animated
traders
,
who
,
as
regards
a
genius
for
bargaining
,
could
only
be
compared
to
their
white
sisters
.
In
the
markets
of
large
cities
,
even
on
a
great
day
of
sale
,
there
is
never
much
noise
or
confusion
.
Among
the
civilized
the
need
of
selling
exceeds
the
desire
to
buy
.
Among
these
African
savages
offers
are
made
with
as
much
eagerness
as
demands
.
The
"
lakoni
"
is
a
festival
day
for
the
natives
of
both
sexes
,
and
if
for
good
reasons
they
do
not
put
on
their
best
clothes
,
they
at
least
wear
their
handsomest
ornaments
.
