The HMS Albert, steam-sloop, Captain Griffith Davies, captured a valuable slaver, based in Brazil, off the coast of Monrovia on February 17 of this year. The slaver attempted to evade its captors through nefarious deception, but the brave and courageous sailors aboard the man-of-war noticed the ship’s suspicious activity and boarded after exchanging a volley of shots. None of the British crew was wounded, although two of the slaver’s sailors were slightly wounded. Captain Davies and his crew liberated the men on board and brought the ship’s captain and crew to the Brazilian authorities in Monrovia for judgment. It remains to be seen if the British authorities will reprimand Captain Davies as he did not follow proper procedure.
