- Title:
- Political No. 204 of 1873, Forwarding Copies of Papers Relating to the Capture by the Governor of Lamoo of a 'Slave Dhow' with 217 'Slaves' on Board
- Scope & Content:
- This item consists of copies of a Political Despatch from the Government of India Foreign Department to the Secretary of State for India, dated 21 November and received via Brindisi on 15 December 1873, forwarding copies of two letters from the Political Agent and Consul General at Zanzibar. The Agent relates how the Governor of Lamoo [Lamu] captured a dhow with 217 enslaved persons on board and was instructed by the Sultan of Zanzibar to destroy the vessel and send the enslaved persons to Zanzibar to be located there as 'freed men'; and how a British ship-of-war (as yet unidentified) arriving at the port, despite being told the vessel has already been seized, demanded the surrender of the vessel, destroyed it and took away in it fifty of the enslaved persons. (The Agent intimates that the supply of labour to British colonies probably lies behind the taking away of the fifty persons).
