I went on board of the boat where our gang of slaves were, and during the whole night my mind was occupied with what I had seen.

Early in the morning, I went on shore to see if the dead body remained there.

I found it in the same position that it was left the night before.

I watched to see what they would do with it.

It was left there until between eight and nine o'clock, when a cart, which takes up the trash out of the streets, came along, and the body was thrown in, and in a few minutes more was covered over with dirt which they were removing from the streets.
