[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.
