I observed, also, that the ship had left Liverpool on the 5th of June, 1786, and had returned on the 5th of June, 1787, and that Peter Green was put down as having died on the 19th of September; from all which circumstances it was evident that he must, as my Bristol informant asserted, have died upon the Coast.
Notwithstanding this extraordinary coincidence of name, mortality, time, and place, I could gain no further intelligence about the affair till within about ten days before I left Liverpool; when among the seamen, who came to apply to me in Williamson Square was George Ormond.

He came to inform me of his own ill-usage; from which circumstance I found that he had sailed in the same ship with Peter Green.

This led me to inquire into the transaction in question, and I received from him the following account.
Peter Green had been shipped as steward.

A black woman, of the name of Rodney, went out in the same vessel; she belonged to the owners of it, and was to be an interpretess to the slaves who should be purchased.
About five in the evening, some time in the month of September, the vessel then lying in Bonny river, the captain, as was his custom, went on shore.

In his absence, Rodney, the black woman, asked Green for the keys of the pantry, which he refused her, alleging that the captain had already beaten him for having given them to her on a former occasion, when she drank the wine.
