The dead were bundled off and buried like dogs in the sand on the south side of the island. Sometimes a strong south east wind would furrow the sand, and then, to the eyes of beholders on the cliffs above, would be presented the ghostly spectacle of arms and legs protruding from the shifting sands. The majority of the coolies were transferred to Macao with as little delay as possible. Once there, their escape was nearly impossible. They were kept in strongly guarded barracoons, and were already virtually slaves. They were to be known euphemistically as coolies or labourers. When a vessel was ready and it was decided where the coolics were to go, they were then sent up ia of the Procurador to go through the farce of
whole copy of the contract was read over to s doren at once. The Portuguese clerk read ra- pidly in a dialect unfamiliar to them. The dazed coolies looked and listened with a stupid air.

In it the poor colle agreed to dis- claim the benefit of a certain law made for the benefit of African alaves by Queen Isabella.
