Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer: His Adventures "Not slaves, your Highness," said the Governor. "We call them engages here: it´s a genteeler style. The Lord General keeps us supplied." "I´ll be bound he gave them the plainer name," said Prince Rupert. The Governor of Tortuga shrugged his shoulders. "On the bills of lading they are written as Malignants; but judging from the way he packed the last cargo, Monsieur Cromwell regards them as cattle. It is evident that he cared only to be shut of them. They were so packed that one half were dead and over the side before the ship brought up to her anchors in the harbour here. And what were left fetched but poor prices. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
