This is an account by Olaudah Equiano, an Igbo abolitionist and writer who was enslaved as a child.

In this section, Equiano remembers how he felt when he arrived as a slave to the boat that was going to transport him. The central idea is that upon getting on the boat, seeing how different the captors looked and how the black people were chained, he realized what his fate was. This made him deeply scared and miserable and caused him to faint on the deck.
