Ouaudah Eauiano
• Recalled inhumane conditions on his trip to the West Indies, at age 11 in 1756– I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such
a salutation [greeting] in my nostrils as I never experienced in my life; so that, with the loathsomeness of the stench, and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat . . . but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across . . . The windlass, while the other flogged me severely.
