Joseph Mars is sitting at the front of one of the canoes. Next to him, Mosi plunges his paddle deep into the water. He paddles even harder than the rest. He’s just found the best way to visit all the forts and slave trading posts along the coast, perhaps as far as Bonny and Old Calabar. All he has to do is follow the French ship.

On the beach, a group of children have found his old clothes and are dressing up in them.

Mosi prefers to keep his shoulders and legs bare. He likes to feel the seawater against his skin. His mind drifts back to when he was twelve years old, rowing among the boatmen of Shama. Back to a time when it was impossible to imagine that, one day, he might lose a son to the slave trade.
