African Memoranda. , 281 Light airs. At sun set saw the Bullam shore, the north side 1793. of the river Sierra Leone; and at 11 P.M. anchored in 64-^dajs fathoms of water. Dec ' At day-light got under weigh. Saw Cape Sierra Leone about Monday, 10, .and at noon, it being calm, anchored off it. At 3 P.M. a ~ 3rd ’ light sea breeze springing up, we again got under sail, and soon after, a boat came alongside from Free Town, with the captain of the company’s ship the Harpy, whom Governor Dawes, un derstanding from the William, which vessel had got in before me, that I was off, had kindly sent out, with refreshments for the sick, and seamen to assist us in getting to an anchorage, which we did just after sun set, in St. George’s bay, in six fathoms water.

Here I saw half a dozen white men, neat, clean, and well dressed, who had the appearance of English gentlemen, a sight that my eyes had not been accustomed to, for much more than a year. the case in the body of the letter. Now, I do not think it very uncharitable in me to suppose such a man capable of opening my packet, and, finding those statements, determining never to deliver it. And this I doubt not was the case, for after his death, and after my return to Europe, my packet made its appearance.
