The search party which eventual- ly discovered the island was on the point of giving up their lonely and dangerous quest, when they sud- denly came across a swiftly-moving Arab sailing ship.

The vessel's hold was a dank prison, where men, women andr girls-slaves freshly captured in the interior were cowering and shivering with fear.

A doctor who was a member of the search party found the slaves in the grip of fever, and he cured them with quinine.
