[00:02.80] chapter 2
[00:04.86] Down the coast of Africa
[00:10.98] For two long years I lived the life of a slave.
[00:16.96] I worked to the house and garden，
[00:21.09] and every day I plan to escape.
[00:24.85] but it was never possible.
[00:30.24] I thought about it day and night.
[00:33.35] My master liked to go fishing in a little boat，
[00:39.34] and he always took me with him.
[00:44.62] A man called Moely，
[00:45.55] and a young boy also went with us.
[00:51.45] One day my master said to us，
[00:54.96] ‘Some of my friends want to go fishing tomorrow.
[01:00.61] Get the boat ready. ’
[01:03.44] So we put a lot of food and drink on the boat，
[01:09.43] and the next morning，we waited for my master and his friends.
[01:15.87] But when my master arrived，he was alone.
[01:22.26] ‘My friends don't want to go fishing today，’
[01:26.81] he said to me.
[01:31.48] ‘But you go with Moely and the boy，
[01:33.86] and catch some fish for our supper tonight. ’
[01:40.88] ‘Yes，master，’
[01:43.42][01:39.75] I answered quietly，
[01:45.95] but inside I was excited.
[01:52.18] ‘Perhaps now I can escape，’
[01:54.30] I said to myself.
[01:57.94] My master went back to his friends and we took the boat out to sea.
[02:07.62] For a time we fished quietly，
[02:13.24] and then I moved carefully behind Moely and knocked him into the water.
[02:20.33] ‘Swim！’
[02:22.39] I cried.
[02:24.24] ‘Swim to the shore！’
[02:27.92] My master liked to shoot seabirds and so there were guns on the boat.
[02:36.61] Quickly，I took one of these guns.
[02:41.46] Moely was swim－ming after the boat and I shouted to him：
[02:47.45] Go back to the shore！
[02:50.41] You can swim there—it's not too far.
[02:55.85] I won't hurt you，but if you come near the boat，
[03:01.15] I'll shoot you through the head！’
[03:04.91] So Moely turned，and swam back to the shore as quickly as he could.
[03:14.79] Then I said to the boy，
[03:17.60] ‘Xury，if you help me，
[03:21.34] I'll be a good friend to you.
[03:25.24] If you don't help me，
[03:27.44] I'll push you into the sea too. ’
[03:32.24] But Xury was happy to help me.
[03:36.53] ‘I'll go all over the world with you，’
[03:38.73] he cried.
[03:41.57] I wanted to sail to the Canary Islands，
[03:46.33] but I was afraid to go too far from the shore.
[03:51.20] It was only a small boat.
[03:54.00] And so we sailed on south for some days.
[03:59.49] We had very little water，
[04:02.60] and it was dangerous country here，
[04:05.92] with many wild animals.
[04:09.87] We were afraid，
[04:12.02] but we often had to go on shore to get more water.
[04:17.21] Once I used a gun to shoot a wild animal.
[04:22.62] I don't know what animal it was，
[04:26.52] but it made a good meal.
[04:29.92] For about ten or twelve days we sailed on south，
[04:35.83] down the coast of Africa.
[04:39.18] Then one day we saw some people on the shore—strange，
[04:46.43] wild people，
[04:48.54] who did not look friendly.
[04:51.75] By now we had very little food，
[04:55.31] and We really needed help.
[04:58.95] we were afraid，but we had to go on shore.
[05:04.64] At first，they were afraid of us，too.
[05:09.04] Perhaps white people never visited this coast.
[05:14.60] We did not speak their language，of course，
[05:18.69] so we used our hands and faces to show that we were hungry.
[05:26.02] They came with food for us，but then they moved away quickly.
[05:33.62] We carried the food to our boat，and they watched us.
[05:39.31] I tried to thank them，but I had nothing to give them.
[05:46.21] Just then two big wild cats came down to the shore from the mountains.
[05:54.55] I think they were leopards.
[05:58.20] The people were afraid of these wild cats，
[06:01.99] and the women cried out. Quickly，I took a gun，
[06:08.58] and shot one of the animals.
[06:12.12] The second wild cat ran back up into the mountains.
[06:19.02] Guns were new to these African people，
[06:22.76] and they were afraid of the loud noise and the smoke.
[06:27.76] But they were happy about the dead wild cat.
[06:32.76] I gave them the meat of the dead animal，
[06:36.41] and they gave us more food and water.
[06:41.16] We now had a lot of food and water，
[06:45.61] and we sailed on.
[06:49.05] Eleven days later we came near the Cape Verde Islands.
[06:55.16] We could see them，
[06:57.36] but we couldn't get near because there was no wind.
[07:03.50] We waited.
[07:05.94] Suddenly Xury called to me，
[07:10.24] ‘Look，a ship！’
[07:13.45] He was right！
[07:15.78] We called and shouted and sailed our little boat as fast as we could.
[07:23.03] But the ship did not see us.
[07:27.51] Then I re-membered the guns which made a lot of smoke.
[07:32.52] A few minutes later the ship saw us and turned.
[07:39.44] When we were on the ship，
[07:42.09] the Portuguese captain listened to my story.
[07:46.85] He was going to Brazil and agreed to help me，
[07:51.74] but he wanted nothing for his help.
[07:55.49] ‘No，’he said，when I tried to pay him.
[07:59.63] ‘Perhaps，one day，someone will help me when I need it. ’
[08:05.99] But he gave me money for my boat，
[08:09.63] and for Xury，too.
[08:13.12] At first，I did not want to sell Xury as a slave，
[08:18.22] after all our danger-ous adventures together.
[08:22.36] But Xury was happy to go to the cap-tain，
[08:27.94] and the captain was a good man.
[08:31.24] ‘In ten years’time，’he said，‘
[08:34.46] Xury can go free. ’
[08:39.51] When we arrived in Brazil three weeks later，
[08:44.06] I said goodbye to the captain and Xury，
[08:49.37] left the ship，
[08:52.41] and went to begin a new life.
