| Full Narrative | JAMES HENRY, the third passenger, was about thirty-two years of age, and quite a spirited-looking " article." A few months before he fled he had been sold, at which time his age was given as " only twenty." He had suffered considerably from various abuses ; the hope of Canada however tended to make him joyful. The system of oppression from which these travelers fled had afforded them no privileges in the way of learning to read. All that they had ever known of civilization was what they perchance picked up in the ordinary routine of the field. |
