He at length took his final leave of them, and of Mr.Lundy; and the ship sailed immediately.

They, however, met storms and adverse winds, which detained them; and then the poor, ignorant slaves began to believe what they had before suspected: that this was only some wicked plan of Mr.Lundy's, laid to entice them away from a kind master, and to plunge them into some dreadful degradation and suffering.

"Master" had not told them of the adverse winds, and they were certain that some mischief was intended; they grew sullen and disobedient; and notwithstanding the kindness of Mr.
Lundy, they murmured and complained, until his kind heart sank within him; still he pursued the even tenor of his way, trusting in God for deliverance.

He watched over them in sickness, and administered to all their wants; but his tender solicitude for their health and comfort, only excited suspicion, and increased their ungrateful ill humor.
One pleasant evening, Mr.Lundy paced the deck in deep thought.

He was sad, and well nigh hopeless.
