CHARLES BRAMBLE, "Alias CAPTAIN WILL RATLIN." Charles Bramble felt that he was safe from further immediate oppression on his brother's part, and that it was only necessary for him to keep quietly within doors until some chance for shipping from the port should occur, to enable him to disentangle himself from the singular web of circumstances which chance had woven so net like about him.

elationship was known, and that should any further persecution be offered, the same should at once be made public to the oppressor's disgrace. With this purpose, he hardly awaited the breaking of day before he possessed himself of writing materials, and wrote and despatched the following to his brother: "CAPTAIN ROBERT BRAMBLE,--About the same time you receive this note, you will also be made aware, doubtless, of my escape from durance vile in your ship. The purpose of my sending yon this is not to ask any favors at the hand of one who was never actuated towards me even in childhood by a brother's regard, but whose sole desire and purpose have been to oppress and injure one related to him by the nearest ties of relationship. My object is rather to let you know that any further attempt to arraign me before the court will lead at once to a public declaration of the fact that your are my brother, a relationship which necessity alone will compel me to publish to the people of Sierra Leone. E DECLARING THAT THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS KNOWN AND THAT SHOULD ANY FURTHER PERSECUTION BE OFFERED THE SAME AT ONCE BE MADE PUBLIC TO THE OPPRESSOR'S DISGRACE WITH THIS PURPOSE HE HARDLY AWAITED THE BREAKING OF DAY BEFORE HE POSSESSED HIMSELF OF WRITING MATERIALS AND WROTE AND DISPATCHED THE FOLLOWING TO HIS BROTHER CAPTAIN ROBERT BRAMBLE ABOUT THE SAME TIME YOU RECEIVE THIS NOTE YOU WILL ALSO BE MADE AWARE DOUBTLESS OF MY ESCAPE FROM DURRANCE VILE IN YOUR SHIP THE PURPOSE OF MY SENDING YON THIS IS NOT TO ASK ANY FAVOURS AT THE HAND OF ONE WHO IS NEVER ACTUATED TOWARDS ME EVEN IN CHILDHOOD BY A BROTHER'S REGARD BUT WHOSE SOLE DESIRE AND PURPOSE HAVE BEEN TO OPPRESS AND INJURE ONE RELATED TO HIM BY THE NEAREST TIDES OF RELATIONSHIP MY OBJECT IS RATHER TO LET YOU KNOW THAT ANY FURTHER ATTEMPT TO ARRAIGN ME BEFORE THE COURT WILL LEAD AT ONCE TO A PUBLIC DECORATION OF THE FACT THAT YOU ARE MY BROTHER A RELATIONSHIP WHICH NECESSITY ALONE WILL COMPEL ME TO PUBLISH TO THE PEOPLE OF SIERRA LEONE
