While they negotiated with the ships, they locked us up in big cages on the shore called barracoons. |

These intermediary markets also used by agents of Europeans, who had barracoons in these markets, were fed by slaves from the north. |

Conditions for the African slaves during the Middle Passage are worse than theirs in the barracoons. |

A signal was made from the vessel, and soon afterwards I saw a long line of slaves coming forth from behind a wood which concealed the barracoons where they had been confined. |
