Document Summary
The interesting narrative of the life of olaudah equaino . The middle passage page 3035: volume b. After six or seven months of captivity, equaino came to the sea. The country there was quite different from what equaino had experienced before, though it was engaged primarily in agriculture and war like his own country was. The first thing he saw there was a slave ship waiting for cargo, which filled him the immense fear that he had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me. When he saw the many black people chained together with expressions of profound sorrow on their faces, he realized what awaited him, and knew that he would never return to his native country. He suddenly wished to return to former slavery than to endure this new punishment.
