EXPEPITION TO SURINAM, 



Mr. D. B. however, met with his jaft reward: for ^ 

 *^ having fince driven all his beft carpenter negroes to the v- 



woods by his injuftice and feverity, he was ruined, 

 <* and obliged to fly the colony, and leave his eftate and 

 " flock to the difpolal of his creditors ; while one of the 

 "above unhappy deferters, a /^;;2Z'0^*, has by his in- 

 " duftry been the prote6lor of Cery and her children. 

 " His name is Jolycoeur, and he is now the firil of Baron's 



captains, whom you may have a chance of meeting 

 -'^ in the rebel camp, breathing revenge againft the 

 " Chriftians. 



Mrs. D. B. is ftill in Surinam, being arretted for her 

 " hufband's debts, till Fauconberg fliall be fold by ex- 

 " ecution to pay them. This lady now lodges at my 

 ho life, where the unfortunate Joanna attends her, 

 " whom flie treats with peculiar tendernefs and diftinc- 

 " tion." 



Having thanked Mrs, Demelly for her account of Jo- 

 anna, in whofe eye glittered the precious pearl of fym- 

 pathy, I took my leave, and went to my lodging in a 

 ftate of fadnefs and flupefadtion. However trifling, and 

 like the ityle of romance, this relation may appear to 

 fome, it is neverthelefs a genuine account, and on that 

 fcore I flatter myfelf may not entirely be uninterefting to 

 » others- 



When refleding on the ftate of flavery altogether, 



* A famboe is between a mulatto and a negro.
