Dere I stood till the soldiers came up.

Dey put a cord round my arms and led me away.

After a time I was taken down the country.

Dere I was claimed, and when it was known I had killed a white oberseer I was tried.

But de new oberseer did not want me to be hung, for I was a strong slave and worth money, so he told a story about how it happen, and after dey had flogged me very hard dey sent me back to plantation.
