The Consul Relates a Sicilian Youth’s steadfast Faith
The account tells of Frances Afertin a 10 to 12 year old Sicilian boy whom his master the Bei enslaved in a country house near Janus to force conversion. Despite torture including burning torches the boy remained steadfast and earned liberty for himself and his uncle and cousin. A slave who saved him gained freedom and pieces of eight. The narrative then describes the Fondou and the Consul’s Chapel with quarters for French merchants and a listing of thirteen slave prisons named after saints and churches.
