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.
Un furioso Charles Stewart  assoldò dei cacciatori di schiavi perché perlustrassero tutta Londra, lo trovassero e lo portassero  non a Charles Stewart, ma alla nave, la Ann and Mary, che era ancorata al porto di Londra, e lo incatenassero al ponte della nave, diretta in Giamaica, dove James sarebbe stato venduto  al mercato degli schiavi e condannato a vivere,  dai tre ai cinque anni, la vita dello schiavo mietitore di canna da zucchero.
