who had been landed afc Bio , in the custody of some seamen of the Furious , to be taken to prison , and had escaped from their hands , arrived with a full account of her capture . She was the sister brig of the Maria Isabella , and resembled her so closely , that no one unaccustomed to the two vessels would be able to distinguish between them .
Accordingly , when she came in sight of the Furious , she was mistaken for her sister , that had been followed from Bio , and lost somewhere in that neighbourhood . She was boarded , and fonnd empty . The captain of the Furious concluded that all her slave-fittings had been thrown overboard when the brig was endeavouring to escape . One of the officers of the steamer could swear that he had visited the brig
in Bio , and found her completely fitted for the slave-trade . Her papers were considered a forgery , and she was sent to St . Helena . The truth at once flashed upon my mind , that the lieutenant of the Furious , whose visit to the brig in Bio I mentioned before , while pretending to come for a deserter , had in reality come to search the brig , and find if she was really fitted for the slave-trade , I learnt accidentally that he had come before , when the captain was on board , with
the same story , and that the captain , who saw his purpose , had civilly repulsed him , saying that so strict a watch was kept all night , that no deserter could have got on board . When the Improviso arrived at St . Helena , after the customary legal delays , examinations , and cross-examinations had been gone through , she was declared to be a slaver , and adjudicated to be broken up and sold ,, the proceeds to accrue to her captors . Such is the world ' s justice , by which the innocent are habitually punished , and the guilty acquitted !
