The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z Just then, as American traders in crossing the Atlantic, when a dangerous gale comes on, lighten the ship by throwing the cattle overboard, so, at times, do these gentleman Arabs lighten their dhows when chased. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Meanwhile the other two dhows were at us, on us almost, for we were sometimes fighting gun to gun, and we had to fight on both sides of our vessel at once.

Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The ship very soon put a stop to that demonstration with a round or two of shrapnel, while we busied ourselves with the dhow. Pan-Islam The corvette was then drifted by currents almost as far as the island of Pisang, near which she fell in with three dhows, manned by natives of the island of Gueby. Celebrated Travels and Travellers Part III. The Great Explorers of the Nineteenth Century This lack of complaisance on the part of the Zamorin he attributed, not without reason, to the jealousy of the Arab merchants, whose swift-sailing dhows crowded the port. Great Men and Famous Women. Vol. 5 A series of pen and pencil sketches of the lives of more than 200 of the most prominent personages in History There were ample provisions of sorts, and sufficient fresh water to enable the dhow to carry on without being under the necessity of putting into any port to revictual. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z Right well had the captain of the double-masted slave dhow—captured by the Bunting—played his game. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The "owner" and I conferred and decided that the situation could be met by transferring their cargo to the ship and letting the dhows beach. Pan-Islam The large dhows generally make one voyage in the season, to the southward of Arabia; taking advantage of the north-east monsoon to come down, and the south-west to return with an exchange cargo. The Sailor's Word-Book An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, including Some More Especially Military and Scientific, but Useful to Seamen; as well as Archaisms of Early Voyagers, etc. The French flag is sullied by being allowed to be used by slaving dhows—an iniquity owing to which our brave Captain Brownrigg met his death not long ago. The Contemporary Review, January 1883 Vol 43, No. 1 He told no one of his find, but resolved to hand over the money to the port authorities as soon as the dhow arrived at Pangawani. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z His men and himself were rowed on shore in the last boat that left that doomed slave dhow. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z There was always trouble off Jeddah—the approaches to that reef-girt harbour lend themselves to blockade-running dhows with sound local knowledge on board. Pan-Islam The pilot brought the Maud up to the custom-house quay; and the dhow, which was not far behind the little steamer, came alongside the pier near her. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing We advanced briskly down stream, Ustâni propelling himself with the pole of the dhow. He On the fifth day following the acquisition of the dhow, the Comoro Islands were sighted on the starboard bow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The Bunting is gaining on the dhow, but in another hour it will be dark. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Early one morning, about fifty miles out of Jeddah, I boarded a becalmed dhow and found them with the dregs of one empty water-skin between a dozen men. Pan-Islam The poorer Mohammedans of Egypt make their pilgrimage to Mecca this way, journeying across the Arabian Desert on foot or by camel, and by steamers or dhows to Yembo. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing At this moment, just when the dhow was yet quivering with the strain, I noticed an expression of abject fear on the face of Ustâni. He There were now plenty of craft to be seen, from tramp steamers to dhows. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z They must have thought the dhow foundered at sea, or been lost among the breakers and every one drowned. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z That dhow stood out to sea as if making for the ship and then proceeded along the coast. Pan-Islam They are used on the Malabar Coast in the East Indies as well as in the Red Sea, where it is called a baggala, though dhow is the more common name in the far East. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing I searched the dhow everywhere, but could find no trace of the vegetable. He The dhow was berthed alongside the newly constructed wharf, fronting the modest building which housed the customs and port officials of Pangawani. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z But behold! almost at the same moment a boat leaves the dhow, and impelled by sturdy arms goes bounding away shoreward. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z On the other hand, the men were, of course, fully armed, and there were but five of the dhow's crew all told, of whom two were not able-bodied. Pan-Islam Some walked the deck, watching whatever was to be seen, especially the Arabian dhows, and occasionally a large steamer passed; and some went to sleep in their staterooms. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing In a moment a shower of stones struck the dhow, and spurred the water into storm. He The dhow's cargo was small and comparatively worthless. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The gunboat steamed away north and by east, while the dhow spread her great wings to the breeze and went tacking away for Zanzibar. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Each dhow as she was cleared had to make for the shore and dismast or beach so that she could not steal out at night and add to the difficulties of the blockade. Pan-Islam "What do those dhows bring up here?" asked Louis. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing Before them lay the picturesque harbor, filled with Arab dhows from Zanzibar and the Somali ports, tramp steamers, coasters, and a trim French corvette up from Madagascar. The Rogue Elephant The Boys' Big Game Series "We may as well release the lascars," he said "It's about time we got the dhow under control." The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The dhow went round with terrible flapping of her enormous sails, and much creaking of blocks, her great wings almost dragging the vessel on her beam ends. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Good money is paid at Cowes to see no more spirited sailing—we had to put a shot across the bows of the leading dhow before they would abandon the race. Pan-Islam "They are all rather costly merchandise, and one of those dhows can carry a big freight of them," added Louis, as he went aft, for Miss Blanche was there. Asiatic Breezes Students on The Wing A few dhows were visible close in shore, and in the bay sharks and rays could be discerned in motion. The 28th: A Record of War Service in the Australian Imperial Force, 1915-19, Vol. I Egypt, Gallipoli, Lemnos Island, Sinai Peninsula By this time the dhow had run up into the wind and was gathering sternway with her lateen foresail aback. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z They were huddled together, buried together, one might say, in one long cluster, dying, smothering each other, and drowning in the lee scuppers, for the sea was breaking clean over the wrecked and dismasted dhow. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z I joined her from Suez the day after the blockade was closed, and found her keeping guard over a perfect fleet of dhows. Pan-Islam Jack, who was convinced that all the Arabs on board the dhow, taken red-handed as they were, deserved hanging, would gladly have left the task of putting them out of this world to the Sultan. The Three Commanders This resulted in an amusing incident when a dhow, manned by a very fat Arab fisherman and a small native boy, came too close to the troopship. The 28th: A Record of War Service in the Australian Imperial Force, 1915-19, Vol. I Egypt, Gallipoli, Lemnos Island, Sinai Peninsula It was not until the day following that Davis, in his official capacity, completed the inspection of the dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z Captain Wayland took the pains to go all the way to the Highlands of Scotland to report correctly the story of the dhow. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Their bodies would, no doubt, have been put over the side when the dhow was out of sight, and their rifles sold inland at a fancy price. Pan-Islam Night and day the brightest lookout was kept, and every suspicious dhow chased and boarded. The Three Commanders In 1881 the gallant Captain Brownrigg was killed in a struggle with an Arab slaver, owing chiefly to his own punctilious respect for the French flag under which the dhow was sailing. Chatterbox, 1906 Then, the lateen sails rehoisted, the dhow resumed her course, hauling close to the wind on the starboard tack, her head pointing practically nor'-west-by-north. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z But alas! and alas! weeks flew by, and months passed into a year, and a year into long years, but no tidings ever were received of that lost dhow and her unhappy crew. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The ship I was serving in at the time lay off Jeddah and had three boats down picketing the dhow-channels leading in to that reef-girt harbour, for which dhows were making like homing bees. Pan-Islam They could only wish that they had steam-power, when, if a dead calm should come on, they might quickly have got up with the dhow. The Three Commanders At daybreak one May morning, a dhow was seen making for an opening known as Fungal Gap, and the dinghy, or small boat, with three men, was sent to hail her. Chatterbox, 1906 Fortunately both men were acquainted with the management of a dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z Thrice have they run me on shore, twice have they burned my dhows. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The dhows were reached and their papers examined, then allowed to proceed if all was in order. Pan-Islam The first dhow was rapidly approaching the anchorage, and the boat, hoisting her sail, soon afterwards followed her. The Three Commanders The dhow replied by a volley, and, as Lieutenant Fegan turned his nine-pounder gun upon her, she left the small boat and bore down upon the pinnace. Chatterbox, 1906 Approaching with swift, cat-like movements were two more Arabs, one of whom was the captain of the dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The loading of a slave-ship is a terrible sight, but ah! the ruthless cruelty of lightening a dhow of slaves. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Usually it was some technical point which I could waive, but on this occasion one of the cutters made a signal to the effect that barley in bulk had been found in one dhow. Pan-Islam They were for the present, indeed, more interested with the dhows taken by the lieutenant and the other boat. The Three Commanders "Some of the young gentlemen fear to go to sea in open boat like this yacht; but the dhows and the proas have not much decks," said the Bornean. Four Young Explorers or, Sight-Seeing in the Tropics But, grave and inscrutable, the crew of the dhow carried on as if the unseemly interruption was beneath their notice. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z As speedily as possible the dhow had been put in charge of Harry Milvaine; probably three hours had scarcely elapsed ere she and the gunboat parted company. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z However, the signal was repeated, and I had to have the dhow alongside. Pan-Islam From the frequent trips the boats had to make, they judged that the dhow had contained a large number of slaves. The Three Commanders All was suspense till the cry came from the dhow of “She’s a slaver, sir!” How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 At times the dhow was appreciably drifting away from the desired haven. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The boats were silently lowered before they came in sight of the dhow, therefore before the dhow could see the Bunting. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z His tears hissed on the red coal, and through a glittering film he saw the ancestral house, the blush of the clove trees, the deep blue sea with the dhows slipping out toward Muscat. Sacrifice By the time the blacks had been landed, three of the dhows they had at first seen had got almost up to the southern end of the island. The Three Commanders Forty-one men, 59 women, and 137 children were taken out of the dhow from between her decks, where they had been packed, unable to move during the whole voyage. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Several dhows were in sight, their crews, tired of waiting for the breeze, laboriously sweeping the ponderous craft. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z For a few seconds this part of the dhow bristled with spears, and one or two of Harry’s men succumbed to the lunges and fell to the deck. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Burning with resentment and shame, he had sailed away in a dhow—it had landed him at Beira—believing that he would hate Zanzibar forever. Sacrifice The inside dhow followed her example, as did the third, and all three lay close together, as if no enemy existed near them. The Three Commanders “They’re all out of the dhow, sir,” exclaimed the seamen who remained on board the vessel. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 A cable's length astern was another dhow, the crew of which had just relinquished their sweeps and were preparing to hoist sail. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z A bright white light now gleamed over the dhow’s deck. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Then the dhow with the camel prow became a panoplied camel, on which he and she were being borne away to Om�n, the land of his fathers, which he had never seen. Sacrifice If that is the case, the dhows have not seen them, and fancy that the people on shore, whom they can’t have failed to discover, have no means of getting off.” The Three Commanders It showed what must have been the state of things in the dhow, where there was no room to portion them off, neither would the lazy Arab disturb himself to see justice done to each. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 One of the Arabs was swimming strongly, at the same time shouting to his compatriots on the nearest dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z It was well this was so, for on the deck of that slave dhow stood fully seventy as brave Arabs as ever drew a sword or carried a spear. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z There may have been a dhow ahead of us that night in August, and it may have been its light that our watchman spied. Cinderella in the South Twenty-Five South African Tales The anchor was then weighed, and the ship stood towards the spot where the dhow she had before chased was last seen. The Three Commanders The west coast still requires watching; each harbour on the east coast from which slaves are shipped must be blockaded, till every Arab dhow manned by a slave-trading crew is captured and destroyed. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Again the pistol cracked, and the fellow collapsed in a limp heap across the body of the captain of the dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z The saloon of this huge dhow was furnished with truly oriental magnificence. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z There were also two or three little models of dhows or boats set on a ledge before that altar. Cinderella in the South Twenty-Five South African Tales Onward went the miserable blacks, the line becoming thinner and thinner; still the headmost were flying, when an enormous sea, dashing on the shore, enfolded the stranded dhow in its embrace. The Three Commanders Well it was that they did so, for in a dark corner of the hold, buried all but the head in the sand which the dhow carried for ballast, lay a poor old woman. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 On deck all was quiet, save for the occasional creaking of the blocks and the ripple of water at the dhow's bows. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z These dhows were and are still manned and officered by Arabs—gentlemen Arabs they term themselves. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Possibly it was not that of a dhow after all. Cinderella in the South Twenty-Five South African Tales The attention of the officers was now, however, engaged in looking out for the dhow; evening was approaching, and it was important that they should pick her up before dark. The Three Commanders Her Majesty’s steamer Vulture, Commander Cay, was, in 1874, cruising off Madagascar, when, it being almost calm, a dhow was seen standing for the port of Majunga. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 The dhow's larder had been raided, with the additional discovery of dates, dried goat's-flesh, bread, and several commodities of doubtful origin. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z It was in pursuit of one of the dhows manned by such gentleman Arabs that the Bunting had been all the previous afternoon. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Then we started away to look for a supposed dhow in likely covers of creeks or inlets, but we drew these blank also. Cinderella in the South Twenty-Five South African Tales The dhow was accordingly brought alongside, and now began the task of removing the unhappy beings to the ship. The Three Commanders Then began the sickening task of transferring the poor captives from the dhow to the ship. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 The Arab skipper went to the side and cast envious looks at the boat, for from the deck of the dhow the damaged planking was not visible. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z I hope we’ll come up with that rascally dhow before long. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Just as we clear our eyes off her, from seaward behind us comes an Arab dhow, a ship from the past, surging along finely! From Edinburgh to India & Burmah At length the chief of the slave-dealers, who had gone off to the dhows, returned on shore with several companions. The Three Commanders One baby had been born on board the dhow, and another had lost its mother during the fatal voyage. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Retrieving the knife with his left hand, the skipper of the dhow advanced cautiously, to be confronted at every approach by the struggling, helpless form of his compatriot. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z But behold! the latter are seen from the dhow’s decks, and lights spring up at once, and a rattling volley flies harmlessly over the heads of our advancing heroes. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z From the south a dozen peaceful lateen-sailed dhows beat up for the native anchorage behind which, from our view-point, the twin spires of the Catholic cathedral stood out against an opal sky. The Priest's Tale - Père Etienne From "The New Decameron", Volume III. Both the dhows were set on fire, that they might not fall into the hands of the Arabs. The Three Commanders Many of the unhappy beings had scarcely tasted food during their imprisonment in the dhow. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 He lay unconscious on the deck, sandwiched between his living buckler and the body of the treacherous captain of the dhow. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z In a few minutes the whaler is at the bows of the dhow.

The Priest's Tale - Père Etienne From "The New Decameron", Volume III. A shot was fired; another and another followed, flying over the dhow’s sail and pitching into the beach, towards which she was rushing to her destruction. The Three Commanders These dhows are large, swift-sailing craft, commanded and manned by Arabs, savage fellows, who frequently fight desperately when attacked by the boats. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Three days later the dhow was bowling along up the Mozambique Channel with the Madagascar coast showing broad on the starboard beam. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z “What became of the captain of the dhow?” Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The dhow carries but one sail, lateen-shaped, and the mast stoops forward at a sharp angle. Man on the Ocean A Book about Boats and Ships As he might possibly lose all three, the lieutenant now put back, and managed to run on board one of the dhows. The Three Commanders The dhow having been burnt, the Vulture stood away for the Seychelles. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Throughout the night the dhow was under way close hauled, passing and repassing the entrance without being able to cross the bar. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z Two hundred living slaves were found in the hold of the dhow, many dead were among the living, and many dying. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z The dhow of the Arabs runs from sixty to a hundred tons, is almost entirely open, and has a sharp pointed bow, projecting for a considerable distance beyond the hull. Man on the Ocean A Book about Boats and Ships They were, however, suffering considerably from hunger and thirst, and at last Tim Nolan, touching his hat, offered to go off to the dhow and bring on shore something to eat. The Three Commanders On the day following, however, a large dhow was captured, with about a hundred and fifty slaves on board, all of whom were rescued, and the dhow destroyed. Black Ivory The dhow was now gathering way under the fair breeze. The Wireless Officer 2011-10-24T02:00:17.560Z She could sail as well as any dhow, and that is saying a good deal, and she could steam well also. Harry Milvaine The Wanderings of a Wayward Boy 2011-09-08T02:00:23.340Z Another, convicted of stealing his master's sword and selling it to the captain of a dhow, had his feet attached to an iron bar, which made his locomotion exceedingly painful. Southern Arabia The prisoners from the second dhow, captured by Mr Matson, at length arrived, with a large number of slaves and the Arab crews. The Three Commanders In a few minutes the dhow was hurled on the beach and began to break up, while her crew and cargo of slaves swarmed into the sea and tried to gain the shore. Black Ivory It was the evening before I came in sight of the dhow. My First Voyage to Southern Seas The ship was tossed about far more violently than the dhow had been. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade It is built on a tongue of land, which affords shelter for Arab dhows during the north-east monsoon. Southern Arabia The midshipmen’s chief hope now was that the ship would quickly come back and catch the three dhows before they again stood out to sea. The Three Commanders Next day two boats from the steamer chased another dhow on shore, but with even less result than before, for the whole of the slaves escaped to the hills. Black Ivory We should not have been the wiser for our visit had we not fallen in with the master of an Arab dhow, who had been some way to the southward of the Portuguese settlements. My First Voyage to Southern Seas Whether they succeeded or not I could not tell, for the seas were sweeping over the ship, and I knew too that she was sinking, as the dhow had done. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade It made its way straight to the jetty and swam to our dhow, the Taisir, and was picked up by our Arab sailors more dead than alive. Southern Arabia They expected every instant to catch sight of the boats pulling off to attack the dhows. The Three Commanders “Not the scoundrel himself, but one of his dhows,” replied the Captain. Black Ivory We soon caught her up, and found her to be an Arab dhow, just like the one Bigg had described, and full of slaves. My First Voyage to Southern Seas It was part of the wreck of a dhow or of some other vessel against which our ship had struck. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The navigation of an Arab dhow is no easy task, with its clumsy arrangements for sails, when there is a strong north wind behind it and reefs in every direction. Southern Arabia That accounts for the dhows bringing up here; I’ve no doubt it is a caravan from the interior, and the poor wretches are being brought down to be embarked. The Three Commanders A little midshipman, named Midgley, differed from both, and said it was a large dhow, for he could make out the top of its lateen sail. Black Ivory These I fastened on each side of me, and secured another piece under my breast; and then in I plunged and struck out for the dhow. My First Voyage to Southern Seas I saw some of the dhows lower their sails, when boats from the big ship took possession of them. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade Co. would send a steamer for us, and let us know about it by some dhow. Southern Arabia Desmond proposed getting some more wood and provisions from the dhow. The Three Commanders These fellows manage to smuggle two or three slaves each voyage to the Black Ivory markets, under pretence that they form part of the crew of their dhows. Black Ivory I knew that it was now high time to kick about, and sing out, and call to the people on board the dhow to help me. My First Voyage to Southern Seas Our dhow sailing faster than the others soon got ahead, and I saw our Arab masters rejoicing that they should escape; but the wind was increasing; every instant it grew stronger and stronger. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The sultan keeps a special dhow for the trade, and the Bedouin's life is given up to the production of butter. Southern Arabia Just as the boat left the side of the dhow, the midshipmen, uttering loud shouts, rushed out of their hiding-place; while the blacks, seeing them, ran on either side like a flock of scared sheep. The Three Commanders With this imposing caravan he embarked in a large dhow, sailed for the coast landed at Kilwa, and proceeded into the interior of Africa. Black Ivory The dhow was, as I expected, a slaver. My First Voyage to Southern Seas The cry arose that the dhow was sinking, and the Arabs leapt into them in such haste that the boat was upset, and all in her were speedily overwhelmed. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade A dhow was on the point of sailing, in which several friends had taken a passage. Ben Burton Born and Bred at Sea Some time was spent before the dhow was cleared. The Three Commanders At the same time it revealed to those on board the dhow that they were being chased by the boat of a man-of-war. Black Ivory Soon after I got on board a breeze sprang up, and the dhow made sail. My First Voyage to Southern Seas It seemed that at any moment the dhow would sink. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The dhow never reached her destination, and we have every reason to believe that she foundered with all on board.” Ben Burton Born and Bred at Sea In a short time Desmond came to the bow of the dhow, and shouted out that he had found plenty of food, and would bring some kettles on shore to cook it. The Three Commanders Seeing this, the commander of the dhow at once ran straight for the shore. Black Ivory At last we ran into a little bay, which Bigg said he was positive was the one in which the Arab dhow lay when he got on board her. My First Voyage to Southern Seas She must be, I thought, the one which had captured the dhows. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade A boat being lowered, Tom and Alick soon pulled up alongside the dhow. The Three Admirals She was nowhere to be seen, though he caught sight of several dhows running to the northward. The Three Commanders The dhows which were thus chased or captured were all regular and undisguised slavers. Black Ivory This officer had greatly distinguished himself by the energy and success with which he had carried on operations against the slaving dhows during the term of his command on the Zanzibar coast. Our Sailors Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign Once headed, most of them might be captured, for the dhow can sail but badly on a wind, though no vessel is faster before it. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade Some time before Zanzibar was reached, a dhow was seen early one morning becalmed. The Three Admirals The nearest dhow was the first to haul in for the shore, while the other continued her course, hoping to escape. The Three Commanders When caught, the dhows were invariably destroyed and the slaves set free—that is to say, carried to those ports where they might be set free with safety. Black Ivory On his way he examined any dhows he met which he suspected to contain slaves. Our Sailors Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign They were soon up to the dhow, on board of which there appeared to be a crew of from fifteen to twenty Arabs, who gazed with folded arms and scowling countenances on their approaching captors. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The evidence was so clear that Jack, without hesitation, destroyed the dhow, which could not be towed all the way to Zanzibar, resolving to risk all the consequences. The Three Admirals The dhow heeled over to the breeze, but still kept her large sail standing; there was no longer any doubt that the Arabs had resolved to beach her. The Three Commanders These were cast loose and placed in a sitting posture in the hold of the smallest dhow, as close together as they could be packed. Black Ivory On the 3rd of December a dhow was sighted flying French colours. Our Sailors Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign While they were engaged in these arrangements, Ned cast his eye on the other dhow, of which Rhymer had been ordered to take charge. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade By altering her course slightly she was thus able to pass close enough to the dhow to ascertain her character. The Three Admirals “There is a narrow opening between the rocks,” exclaimed Higson; “the dhow has been making for that.” The Three Commanders Even the Sultan who granted the permits or passes to the owners of the dhows, although he professed to wish to check the slave-trade, could not prevent it. Black Ivory He went alongside without hailing or stopping the dhow in any way, the wind being light and the craft scarcely forging ahead. Our Sailors Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign I felt quite disappointed when the storm ceased, and the dhow glided on her course as before. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade As the sun rose, a breeze sprang up, and the dhow was seen to hoist her largest sail and to stand away for the coast. The Three Admirals The dhow flew on with her huge sail stretched to the utmost, and already heeling over fearfully. The Three Commanders Pick out the weakest among the lot, those most likely to die, and put them by themselves in the small dhow. Black Ivory There were then visible on board the dhow four men, two aft and two forward, all armed with the usual Arab swords and creeses. Our Sailors Gallant Deeds of the British Navy during Victoria's Reign She was coming towards the fleet of dhows, bringing up a breeze. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade As, however, the Bellona must ere long come up with the dhow, he refrained from firing a shot into her, which he felt very much inclined to do. The Three Admirals On flew the dhows, their bulging sails swelling in the breeze, and the white foam flying up under their low bows. The Three Commanders Among these were the four large dhows of our friend Yoosoof. Black Ivory They wished to engage an Arab dhow for navigating the lake, sufficiently large to carry provisions and to resist hostile attacks, but could only obtain a canoe. Great African Travellers From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley At last the wind filled our sails, and the dhows began to separate. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade During the passage several other dhows were met with, but although there were blacks on board, there was not sufficient evidence to prove that they were slaves. The Three Admirals The second lieutenant’s boat was nearest in; as the dhow came dashing on, the lieutenant ran his boat alongside, and he and his men, like ants, could be seen scrambling up over the bulwarks. The Three Commanders Harold next said “Boat—dhow,” and pointed towards the creek, which remark and sign were received as before. Black Ivory On the 13th the dhow comes in, laden with cows, goats, oil, and ghee; but, though Speke offers five hundred dollars for her hire, the Arab merchant still refuses to lend her. Great African Travellers From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley I should like to see an English fleet employed in catching all the dhows, and an army sent to march through the country to turn all the Arabs out of it. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade Pango was of assistance in enabling him to condemn two dhows, besides those he was compelled to let escape. The Three Admirals “The dhow is clear, sir,” reported the carpenter. The Three Commanders Another gun was fired as she came round, and the shot dropped right in front of the dhow, sending a column of water high into the air. Black Ivory Having engaged a dhow, he saw them all on board, and again urged them to follow the “great master,” as they called Livingstone, wherever he might lead them, and to obey him in all things. Great African Travellers From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley A bright look-out was kept aloft, from the first break of day until darkness covered the face of the deep, for any dhows sailing northward, but day after day passed by and none were seen. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade A great many of these Indian dhows can run away from a square-rigged ship, in light weather. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War See, the other dhow is coming round with the intention of running on shore; probably those on board don’t see their friends scampering off, and they hope to re-land their slaves. The Three Commanders Much caution was displayed in guiding the dhow through these, for the channel was narrow, and darkness rendered its position almost indiscernible. Black Ivory On the 4th of February, 1871, the expedition was ready, and on the 5th embarked in four dhows, which conveyed it across to Bagomoyo on the mainland. Great African Travellers From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley The following day three dhows were seen; chase was made; they were overtaken and boarded; one, however, was a fair trader, but about the two others there was considerable doubt. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade A week later the dhow entered the harbour. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War Thus the management of the dhow was left entirely to her captors. The Three Commanders The “Firefly” was by this time near enough to hold converse with the dhow through the medium of artillery. Black Ivory A dhow had been built by two Arabs, who were running her regularly, crowded with slaves, across its waters. Great African Travellers From Mungo Park to Livingstone and Stanley His practised eye assured him that the stern most dhow was within range of the long gun. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade He went ashore as soon as the dhow cast anchor, Stanley remaining on board. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War As the night advanced, the wind increased, and the dhow made rapid way through the water, steering after Adair’s prize. The Three Commanders In a few minutes the dhow ranged up alongside the “Firefly,” and our heroes, with the poor slaves, were quickly transferred to the man-of-war’s deck, where Harold told his tale to Captain Romer. Black Ivory “I don’t think any Arab dhow, whether belonging to the Somalis or otherwise, can escape the Mermaid, should one heave in sight!” Young Tom Bowling The Boys of the British Navy Aided by Cox, the sail was soon hoisted, but scarcely had the dhow heeled over to the breeze, than cries arose from the Arab crew, who made frantic gesticulations, indicating that the vessel was sinking. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade As the dhow came in yesterday, I can spare both our boats; and shall, of course, ship the goods here on board the big craft. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War “I acted as well as the circumstances would allow, and it was my duty to try and get hold of the other dhow.” The Three Commanders Here, under the deep shadow of umbrageous trees, floated five large Arab boats, or dhows, similar to the one which has been already referred to. Black Ivory “I shouldn’t be surprised if some of their dhows are knocking about here now!” Young Tom Bowling The Boys of the British Navy “Get out the oars!” cried Rhymer; “before long I hope the wind will fail the dhow altogether and we shall soon be up to her.” Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade At each of these the dhow brought up. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War The canoe was apparently not discovered till the dhow was within a few cables’ length of her. The Three Commanders In a few minutes they reached the harbour, and, while making inquiries as to the starting of trading dhows for the south, they succeeded in calming their feelings down to something like their ordinary condition. Black Ivory “You will then cut off the retreat of the dhows, while we head them off farther up the coast.” Young Tom Bowling The Boys of the British Navy The Arabs seemed to think so likewise, for the dhow was now steered directly for the little bay. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade They sailed up the sluggish rivers, with their low, flat shores, in the dhow; towing the rowboat and the store boat behind them. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War The dhow would have had to deviate slightly from her course to run down the canoe; as it was, she passed scarcely twenty fathoms off, her dark-skinned crew casting savage looks at the Englishmen. The Three Commanders Thus supplied, our two friends embarked in the dhow and set sail. Black Ivory “There’s a whole fleet o’ dhows a-creeping up under the lee of the land and running before the wind to the north’ard, sir!” Young Tom Bowling The Boys of the British Navy Presently a much larger party of Arabs than those who had formed the crew of the dhow made their appearance, and were welcomed with shouts of satisfaction. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The crews of these boats lived on board the dhow until their services were required, helping in its navigation and aiding the crew when the wind dropped and sweeps were got out. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War A whole fleet of canoes, full of shrieking savages, was now coming off towards the dhow. The Three Commanders In the dark it appeared to Harold and his companion to be the same dhow, but this was not so. Black Ivory I’m going to cast you off, and you will pull straight for the shore and capture those dhows as best you can, while I will cover your advance with the guns of the ship. Young Tom Bowling The Boys of the British Navy By the time they had got clear of the island the hull of the dhow could be seen. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade My own boat and the dhow are both there, and I shall at once work up all the rivers, and set things going again. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War It was evident that Adair had got easy possession of the third dhow, as the sail, which had at first been lowered, was quickly hoisted again, while the pinnace was dropped astern. The Three Commanders Towards the afternoon, while the dhow was running close in-shore, a vessel hove in sight on the horizon. Black Ivory If we didn’t do something pretty soon Mr Arab dhow would be able to cry, ‘Walker!’ and laugh at us for the wild-goose chase he had led us!” The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace Presently the wind shifted two points to the eastward, the dhow lowered her sail. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade They had had no trouble with river pirates, for these had suffered so heavily, in previous attacks upon the dhow, that they shunned any repetition of their loss. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War The boats, as usual, were kept in readiness to start off at a moment’s notice, while the look-out men had their eyes about them in search of any dhows running up the coast. The Three Commanders This evidently drew the attention of the steamer—which was none other than the “Firefly”—for she at once altered her course and ran in-shore, so as to intercept the dhow. Black Ivory “I suppose you’ve seen some service chasing the dhows yourself, eh?” The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace The dhow was still out of range of the boat’s gun, and appeared determined to stand on while there was a prospect of escaping. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade So I don't want the money now and, suppose the dhow were to be lost going up, the cash might go with it. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War I only hope another of those slaving dhows won’t come by and run us down. The Three Commanders “We have indeed, sir,” replied Disco, frowning, and closing his fists involuntarily, as he thought of Yoosoof and the dhow. Black Ivory “The end of the rainy season, you say, is the best time for catching the dhows?” The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace Exciting as was the chase, the cook did not forget to prepare dinner, which the crew were as ready to eat as if no dhow supposed to be full of slaves was in sight. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade In addition to the European and Indian goods carried, the dhow was laden with rice, for which there was a considerable demand at most of the villages. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War Her topsails were now above the horizon, and soon her courses appeared; by which time, however, the sails of the swift dhow had already begun to disappear on the other side. The Three Commanders Meanwhile the “Firefly’s” boat made straight for the dhow, and was soon near enough to hail. Black Ivory The planks of the small Mtpe dhows are sewn together with a thread-like stuff they get from the reeds in the lagoons. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace The evening approached, the compass showed that the dhow had fallen off two points, and presently afterwards another point. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade I have come down from Ramgur with six dhows, packed full. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War He was holding fast on to the side of the dhow, and found some support necessary. The Three Commanders As we have already stated, there were a number of slaves on board the “Firefly,” which had been rescued from various Arab dhows. Black Ivory It made the Dolphin quiver and tremble through every timber as she seemed literally to fly through the water, but it didn’t make us approach the dhow any closer, although we held our own. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace “Then we’ll follow her up it; if she can get in we can,” answered Rhymer, and the boat’s head was put towards the opening for which the dhow was making. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade They were almost as large as the dhows in which the cattle had been brought down, but drew very much less water. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War He was on the point of despatching another boat, when the look-out man from the signal-station reported that a dhow was in sight coming across from the mainland. The Three Commanders The Arabs seized their opportunity, and a stream of dhows and larger vessels swept out from the various creeks and ports all along the East African coast, filled to overflowing with slaves. Black Ivory At all events, the dhow was steering in that direction, with whatever wind there was on her beam, and she paid no attention to us at all apparently. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace “We must stop those fellows, and turn them back,” exclaimed Rhymer, and resuming the tiller, he steered the boat for the shore at the nearest spot above the dhow where a landing could be effected. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade They were towed off to the dhows, one by one, by two captured war canoes, each having thirty rowers. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War As she drew nearer, she was seen to be a large dhow, and, there could be little doubt, a slaver. The Three Commanders After they had thoroughly secured the Englishmen, the traders led them down the bank of the creek to the spot where the dhow was moored. Black Ivory She was only a trading dhow with a lot of Banians taking goods from the mainland to the islands; and so we had had all our chase for nothing. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace There was a chance also of their capturing a dhow laden with the slaves which had been landed. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade One was taken to each dhow, and the work of transhipping the cattle began at once. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War Their first care was to disarm the Arabs, and to throw their weapons overboard, while the dhow was searched fore and aft for any others which might be concealed. The Three Commanders Thus the horrible work of disease, death, and murder went on, until an event occurred which entirely changed the aspect of affairs on board the dhow. Black Ivory Hardly had the dhow got well off than the pinnace was lowered into the water alongside the steamer, her crew dropping in one by one, and I, of course, descending last. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace Ned recognised him as the Arab whose life he had saved from the sinking dhow. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade The animals were all landed in the course of the afternoon and, with the acknowledgment of their receipt, in excellent order, in his pocket, the contractor went off again, with Stanley, to his own dhow. On the Irrawaddy A Story of the First Burmese War Looking out astern, he saw the first captured dhow following in his wake. The Three Commanders The morrow came, and three dhows left the harbour of Kilwa, hoisted their lateen sails, and steered northwards. Black Ivory Still, all the time we gradually overhauled the dhow; and just about sunset we got within range of a long seven-inch gun, which we carried forwards. The Penang Pirate and, The Lost Pinnace Rhymer passed the night grumbling and abusing the wild fowl, the Arabs and the dhows, lamenting his own hard fate in being engaged in such abominable service. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade Neither is it a dhow, gig or skiff. The Autobiography of Methuselah As the dhow appeared to be coming up with him, he saw no necessity for shortening sail, as he hoped that she would close with him before nightfall. The Three Commanders But we have only spoken of the upper deck of these dhows. Black Ivory Below them, at the water's edge, some of the prisoners were unloading dhows, others were paddling knee-deep in the muddy water. The Four Feathers Still the dhow stood on, and in a short time the boat was up to her. Ned Garth Made Prisoner in Africa. A Tale of the Slave Trade As the light increased, it could be seen that in addition to the two ships were a large number of native dhows.
