To a certain slaver lying off the Windward coast a girl was brought in a canoe by a well-known black trader, who took his pay and paddled off.

A few moments later another canoe with two blacks came alongside and inquired for the girl.

They were permitted to see her and declared she had been kidnapped; but the slaver, not at all put out by that fact, refused to give her up.

Thereupon the blacks paddled swiftly off after her seller, overtook, and captured him.

Presently they brought him back to the deck of the ship--an article of merchandise, where he had shortly before been a merchant.
"You won't buy me," cried the captive.
