    In which we are led through the grim and harrowing voyage of a slave gang forced along a fearful route to the coast and then packed like cargo on dhows bound for distant markets, their bodies and spirits broken by cruelty, disease, and despair. The chapter concludes with a dramatic pursuit and capture of one such dhow by British naval officers, who rescue the broken remnants of humanity aboard and begin their journey toward freedom.
