An enraged Charles Stewart then hired slave catchers to canvass the city of London, find him, bring him not back to Charles Stewart, but to a ship, the Ann and Mary, that was floating in London Harbour, and he was chained to the deck, and the ship was to set sail for Jamaica where James was to be sold in the slave markets and be doomed to the three to five years of life that a slave had harvesting sugar cane in Jamaica.
Enfurecido, Charles Stewart contratou caçadores de escravos para rastreá-lo na cidade de Londres, encontrar e trazê-lo de volta não para Charles Stewart, mas para um navio, o Ann &amp; Mary, que estava ancorado no porto de Londres, e ele foi acorrentado no convés, e o navio já ia zarpar para a Jamaica, onde James seria vendido nos mercados de escravos e seria condenado de 3 a 5 anos de vida que um escravo tinha na colheita de cana de açúcar, na Jamaica.
