介绍： For about half of us we had no intention of coming back to a colony. We were looking forward. We were looking towards a new home. It was in the daily Jamaican newspaper that this troop ship would call to Jamaica in about two weeks time and the passage was 28,10 shillings. Let's get that straight. The average man didn't have 28,10 shillings. It was equivalent to about three cows. And in the evenings they had boxing competition and things like that, and dance and all things.

对于我们一半人来说，我们没有想要回到殖民地的打算。我们向前看。我们向着新家前进。这件事在牙买加的日报刊登出来了，我们知道了这艘运兵船从牙买加出发到英国大概需要两周时间，旅程的费用是每人2810先令。让我们直截了当些。普通人是没有2810先令的。这相当于3头奶牛的价格。每天晚上，他们在船上都会举行拳击比赛还有其他类似的比赛，还有跳舞，做各种各样的事。但是主要的问题是你要在精神上做好登陆的准备。
