The disappointments we suffered occasioned a <br>universal dejection, which was not at all alleviated by <br>the objects that daily and hourly entertained our eyes, <br>nor by the prospect of what must have inevitably happened, <br>had we remained much longer in this place. Such was the <br>economy in some ships that, rather than be at the trouble <br>of interring the dead, their commanders ordered their men <br>to throw their bodies overboard,prada handbag, many without either <br>ballast or winding-sheet; so that numbers of human <br>carcases floated in the harbour,prada outlet, until they were devoured <br>by sharks and carrion crows, which afforded no agreeable <br>spectacle to those who survived, At the same time the wet <br>season began, during which a deluge of rain falls, from <br>the rising to the setting sun, without intermission, and <br>that no sooner ceases than it begins to thunder, and <br>lighten with such continued flashing, that one can see to <br>read a very small print by the illumination.Chapter 34<br>An epidemic Fever rages among us — we abandon our <br>Conquests — I am seized with Distemper — write a <br>Petition to the Captain, which is rejected — I am in <br>danger of Suffocation through the Malice of Crampley,prada outlet, and <br>relieved by a Serjeant — my Fever increases — the <br>Chaplain wants to confess me — I obtain a favourable <br>Crisis-Morgan’s Affection for me proved — the <br>Behaviour of Mackshane and Crampley towards me — Captain <br>Oakum is removed into another Ship with his beloved Doctor <br>— our new Captain described — An Adventure of <br>MorganThe change of the atmosphere, occasioned by this <br>phenomenon, conspired, with the stench that surrounded us, <br>the heat of the climate, our own constitutions, <br>impoverished by bad provisions, and our despair, to <br>introduce the bilious fever among us, which raged with <br>such violence,prada bags, that three-fourths of those whom it invaded <br>died in a deplorable manner; the colour of their skin <br>being, by the extreme putrefaction of the juices, changed <br>into that of soot.Our conductors, finding things in this <br>situation,prada handbag, perceived it was high to relinquish our <br>conquests, and this we did,prada bags, after having rendered their <br>artillery useless, and blown up their walls with gunpowder. <br>Just as we sailed from Bocca Chica, on our return to <br>Jamaica, I found myself threatened with the symptoms of <br>this terrible distemper; and knowing very well that I <br>stood no chance for my life,prada purses, if I should be obliged to be <br>in the cockpit, which by this time was grown intolerable, <br>even to people in health, by reason of the heat and <br>unwholesome smell of decayed provision, I wrote a petition <br>to the captain,prada bags, representing my case, and humbly imploring <br>his permission to be among the soldiers in the middle deck, <br>for the benefit of the air: but I might have spared myself <br>the trouble; for this humane commander refused my request, <br>and ordered me to continue in the place allotted for the <br>surgeon’s mates, or else be contented to be in the <br>hospital, which, by the by, was three degrees more <br>offensive and more suffocating than our own berth below,prada purses. <br>Another, in my condition, perhaps, would have submitted to <br>his fate, and died in a pet; but I could not brook the <br>thought of perishing so pitifully, after I had weathered <br>so many gales of hard fortune: I therefore, without <br>minding Oakum’s injunction, prevailed upon the soldiers <br>(whose good-will I had acquired) to admit my hammock among <br>them; and actually congratulated myself upon my <br>comfortable situation,prada purses; which Cram | ||
