No one could imagine that so large a vessel could be a slaver. On closing under her lee, and when within a cables length, a white package was thrown from her side into the sea; and the experienced then exclaimed, ^ A slaver, and there go her papers! A few minutes more, and we sheered up alongside to leeward of as beautiful model of a ship as ever was seen. Some forty dejected looking individuals,apparently a mixture of all nations, stood on her deck; still no colors, nor did she appear inclined to shorten sail or heave-to.

Thirteen ships made the passage in over 100 days and less than 110 days; among them being the Boston Light,from Boston, 102 days; the Cleopatra and Red Rover, from New York, each 107 days; the Flying Cloud, from New York, and Meteor and Don Quixote, from Boston, each 108 days; the Flying Fish, t</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
