The Commissioners at Sierra Leone came to the conclusion that the vessel had undergone a sale as a Spanish ship in order to become, nominally, a Portuguese vessel, thus avoiding some of the penalties, such as being seized for being fitted out as a slave vessel and carried a Portuguese passport issued by the Governor General of the Cape Verde Islands dated May 1837, which, it had been discovered, were invariably of doubtful validity, and in this instance it would appear that 26 pages of the log had been removed and destroyed, perhaps hiding some embarrassing facts ?
Per a report made to Parliament in 1842, at some time during 1838 was involved in combatting the Slave Trade and experienced 1 Death.
1 Jan 1839 with reference to the Rapido that is mentioned below, it is interesting to note that the British consul at Cadiz wrote a letter of this date, presumably to the Foreign Secretary advising him that the brig "Rapido," under Portuguese colours, had arrived at Cadiz, from Princes Island, off the West Coast of Africa, with a cargo of and other productions (sic). This vessel has and is about to be employed in the slave trade from the Coast of Africa and adjacent Islands to Pernambuco. The owner, Madam Ferreira who has extensive plantations and many slaves in Princes Island has arrived in the "Rapido," having had on her voyage a small adventure in Negroes, to the number of 12 or 13, which she conveyed to Princes Island, which are now on board. The Rapido is to sail from Cadiz in about a month, without a single equipment for a slave adventure ; these were left at Princes Island to await the vessel's return there.
A black schooner without topsails, belonging to Madame Ferreira is now employed collecting negroes from different slave factories along the Coast and landing the in Princes Island, where it is arranged that "Rapido" will receive them, and the equipment and proceed to Pernambuco. For the attention of Sir George Villiers, [The Earl of Clarendon], per J.M. Brackenbury. A copy of this letter having found its way into the registry of the Vice-Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope.
20 April 1839 Portsmouth In Harbour.
19 Mar 1840 detained in about lat 15 12 S. ; lon 41 12 E., the Brazilian slave ship Fathe Estamo, 86 tons, Salmange Valegy, master, and probably owner, which was condemned on 2 Jun 1840 at the Vice-Admiralty Court, Cape of Good Hope, as having been fitted for the slave trade.
The Curlew fell in with a vessel as detailed under Portuguese colours which was boarded and reported by her master to be bound from Dacao ? to Mozambigue. An examination of the vessel showed that whilst not fully fitted out for the slave trade, she had everything on board, such as the planks to make a slave deck in the hold and to enable the vessel to take on board slaves for a passage to Brazil, along with the water and food needed for that passage, and far more than would have been needed for the present crew, who were transferred, excepting the Master, Boatswain and Cook, to the Curlew following the declaration by Capt Ross that the ship was fitted out for the slave trade and would be sent to the Vice-Admiralty Court, Cape of Good Hope for adjudication, where Mate Edward Marrell Matthews was deponent, the Fathe Estamo commenced her passage to Simon's Town, under her prize master, Mate Matthews, arriving on the 10 May 1840. On the passage down to Simon's Town the ship suffered a number of gales and high seas, which were causing problems when they got on board and it was found necessary to clear the upper deck of much crates and casks which were preventing the seas that broke over the ship running off quickly, possibly leading to a dangerous situation. In addition, many of the water casks were dismantled.
21 Mar 1840 detained in about lat 14 53 S ; lon 40 46 E., off the port of Conducia, on the East Coast of Africa, the slave vessel Zaruga, but having been sunk as not sea worthy, her details only were sent for adjudication to the Vice-Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope and was condemned on 23 Jun 1840 and her 4 remaining Africans emancipated.
Observed a vessel standing out of the river under a red flag. On boarding the her was informed that the vessel was the Zaruga / Yaruga, [depending on source and handwriting], and belonged to Zanzibar, and that Fatchel Kerim was the master, although a Sarrachando Fallachande is mentioned in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, whilst Kerim is the name used in the Court papers. On examination it was observed that the vessel was fitted out in all respects for the slave trade, what with shackles and bolts lying around and far more water and food &c. onboard than required for her usual crew and that she had 19 slaves on board. She had a crew of 11 men and was armed with a small gun and a number of muskets and cutlasses, along with 6 barrels of gunpowder, and not having any papers which showed which country she belonged the deponent and commanding officer of the Curlew seized the vessel under the rules provided by the new legislation that the vessel was clearly involved in the slave trade. Lieut Rose put 2nd Master Henry Charles Lew in charge of the prize crew, on board the Zaruga, her original Arab crew having been landed, and her master transferred to the Curlew. However, before departing for the Cape of Good Hope a survey of the vessel was carried out by the prize captain and the gunner of the Curlew in the presence of Lieut Rose, which showed that the vessel was not in a fit state for a sea passage to the Cape. So on the 27 Mar the Africans, along with their food were also transferred to the Curlew along with the prize crew and the vessel was fired into and sunk.
On the 29 Mar the Curlew was anchored off Port Conducia so that the ship could water, and on the night of the 3 Apr., 15 of the negroes effected their escape into the woods ashore, and on the 6 Apr the 4 remaining Africans were transferred to the Dom Pedro and brought to Algoa Bay at the Cape of Good Hope, and before departing the master of the late Zaruga was permitted to go ashore after stating that he didn't have anything to offer in his defence, and that his vessel had only been used locally for transferring slaves along the coast to Portuguese vessels involved in the Slave Trade. This and more, such as her survey, can be found at about page 93 in FO 84-437 Admiralty Letters 1842 Jan., available from the National Archives for free download.
21 Mar 1840 Lieutenant Thomas Courtis Ross, appointed to command the Curlew, vice Rose.
26 Mar 1840 detained in about lat 14 56 S ; lon 41 6 E, the Brazilian slave brig Dom Pedro, Duque do Porto, Sarachande Talacchande, master, which was sent for adjudication to the Vice-Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope and sentenced on 12 Jun 1840 to be condemned as being equipped for the slave trade.
The Curlew fell in with a brig under Portuguese colours which was boarded, and found to be the Dom Pedro, Duque do Porto, Sarachande Talacchande being her master, bound on a voyage from Rio to Mozambique. On searching the brig he found a slave deck had been fitted, and that she carried a great quantity of rice in bulk, along with far more water than would be need by the crew of a normal merchant vessel ; in addition she carried a large number of mess kids, or rice pans, and Lieut Ross concluded that the vessel was fitted out for the slave trade and that under the act for the suppression of the slave trade, passed in the 2nd and 3rd year of HM Queen Victoria's reign, he sent her under the command of Second Master Charles Henry Lew, with instructions to proceed to Simon's Bay to seek adjudication by the Vice-Admiralty Court, and at on their request he landed the crew at Mozambique except for master, his clerk or secretary, the boatswain's mate and barber, who he sent on the vessel. However it was subsequently reported by letter, that the Dom Pedro, Duque do Porto, had met with great loss in her masts, sails and rigging and had to proceed to Port Elizabeth, where she remains.
20 Apr 1849 proceeds arising due for payment.
10 May 1840 Simon's bay, arrived with the Portuguese brig Pade Salem, detained off Mozambique.
22 Jun 1840 detained in about lat 18 24 S., lon 36.45 E., the slave brig Rapido, Felipe de Arias, master, which was sent for adjudication to the Vice-Admiralty Court at Sierra Leone and was condemned on 20 Aug 1840 as being equipped for the slave trade. Sep 1844 the proceeds were lodged at the registry of the High Court of Admiralty.
22 Jun 1840 fell in with a Portuguese brig names the Rapido, sailing under the flag of Uruguay, but having another national flag on board. When boarded by Lieut Thomas Courtis Ross, the commanding officer of the Curlew, and the deponents Lieut Thomas Courtis Ross, Midshipman Robert John Wood, James Grant and Thomas Hawkins, seamen, she was found to be armed with a single gun, although pierced for 6., and her master Felipe de Arias, described himself as Portuguese, Spanish and American, and the vessel as being bound from Paranaqua to Manila, with a crew of 21, 5 passengers, and general cargo. A thorough search of the vessel found that she was fitted out for the reception of Africans, with a slave deck and shackles &c., along with many casks for a large quantity of water and facilities for cooking large amounts of food, and on that thread also found immense quantities of farina and jerked beef, all in quantities far greater than required by her crew. So this along with many of her papers, which appeared to be false and fraudulent, and the fact that she was way off course if she was supposedly heading for Manila ; in addition it was found that the mainmast had supposedly sprung, on the 8 Jun., but that the vessel was heading in the wrong direction to receive the early assistance that he might have found at Quillimane, and that her charts suggested that she'd been off Quillimane, but hadn't entered the port. So what with the master's prevarication regarding his nationality ; no knowledge of where the owner lived ; the ship's passport being in Spanish, the log book in Portuguese ; none of the 77 papers or charts on board mentioned Manila ; and carrying different national flags, and not entitled to claim the protection of any state ; but perhaps more importantly being clearly fitted out for the slave trade, and the deponent Midshipman Robert John Wood was put in charge and the vessel accompanied to Simon's Town, where she arrived on the 2 Aug 1840. This and more can be found at about page 99 in FO 84-437 Admiralty Letters 1842 Jan., available at the National Archives for free download.
18 Aug 1840 at Simon's Bay.
7 Sep 1840 Cape of Good Hope, departed for East Coast.
3 Apr 1841 having been taken up the River Orlinda by the slave traders and abandoned the slave vessel Animo Grande, was brought down again to the mouth of the river in about lat 18 12 S ; 36 46 E., where evidence of her slave trading career was removed to the Curlew and she was burnt down to the water's edge ; the evidence and sworn reports being sent for adjudication to the Vice-Admiralty Court at the Cape of Good Hope where she was sentenced to be condemned on 22 Jul 1841. 5 Mar 1844 proceeds arising due for payment.
On the afternoon of the 2 Apr 1841, while the Curlew lay at anchor off the mouth of the River Quillimane in or about lat 18� 11' S ; lon 37� E., they observed a vessel at anchor a few miles to the SW. They weighed anchor and headed towards the vessel which was anchored off a river understood to be known as the Orlinda, the mouth of which is in about lat 18 12 S ; 36 46 E., and on closing the vessel they realised that she was anchored a short distance within the river, and that the deponent Lieut and Commander Thomas C Ross sent a boat manned by the deponent William Hurst, and Master's Assistant Henry Charles Lew, and a party of 5 seamen to examine the vessel provided she was not within reach of the guns of a fort or battery. At about 3.40 am 3 Apr the boat under the charge of Wm Hurst headed towards the strange vessel, but before reaching it they were hailed in Portuguese from the shore, and shortly afterwards were in receipt of a volley of musketry, one of the balls passing through the boat. But not having taken any muskets the boat was unable to return the fire and headed back to the Curlew, and were fired on again until beyond reach of the muskets. Later in the day an armed party left the Curlew in 2 boats under the command of William Hurst, and Master's Assistant Henry Charles Lew and headed for where the strange vessel had been anchored, but the remains of slave barracoons and three leaguers floating in the water were all that remained, so they continued up the river and could eventually discern the masts of the vessel over the land, and carried on accordingly for 2 or 3 hours before coming up with her, and finding that she'd been tied to a tree ; and as they approached the vessel a number of boats departed her heading further up the river and landed from them, heading for the bushes. The party now boarded the strange vessel and discovered that she had been abandoned, anything of value having been removed, but it didn't take long to discover that she was armed with 2 guns ; a torn Portuguese ensign was found, which was preserved ; they found more than a hundred slave shackles, a few of which they retained ; the slave deck was still laid ; and continued to record much else related to the fact that the vessel was patently involved in the slave trade, along with the particular smells that I read always accompany these vessels. Some papers were also found and it would appear that the name of the vessel was Animo Grande, and elsewhere in the vessel. The boats crews then attempted to take the vessel downstream, but having got to the mouth of the river she went aground and could't be moved. The boats crews returned to the Curlew and reported their findings, which only left Lieut Ross to confirm his thoughts from the evidence discovered regarding the vessel, and he visited the vessel accordingly on the 7 Apr and declared that she should be burnt to the water's edge. This and more can be found at about page 227 in FO 84-437 Admiralty Letters 1842 Jan., available from the National Archives for free download.
2 Jul 1841 arrived at the Cape of Good Hope from Mozambique.
9 Aug 1841 departed the Cape of Good Hope for the coast of Mozambique.
2 Jan 1842 desertions from R.N. vessels at Rio de Janeiro were reported by the Commodore on the Station to have been a major problem in the light of the inducements held out by short handed merchant ships to join them.
Relative to this problem it is noted that the following ratings from the Curlew were court martialled on board the Malabar at Rio de Janeiro :
Able Seamen Samuel Cawkie, Edward Keyes, John Metham, and James Russell ; Boy First Class Nicholas Division ; Boy Second Class James E. Ball :
1. for having signed a mutinous letter ;
2. for having deserted on or about 2 Jan 1842 from the ship's cutter, taking with them their clothes.
They were found not guilty of the first charge and only part guilty of the second charge, and in view of the long period they had been confined and other extenuating circumstances they were adjudged to receive the following, which were carried out on 12 Sep 1842 on board the several ships in Rio de Janeiro :
John Metham, 72 lashes, 14 days solitary confinement and to be discharged from the service with disgrace.
