“Umunsi w’umwijima wo ku wa 19 Gicurasi 1780, wabaye amayobera ndetse uba<br />
igitangaza kitigeze kubaho. Umwijima utabona uko usobanurwa wakwiriye ijuru ryose<br />
n’ikirere cy’igihugu cy’Ubwongereza Bushya.” 382<br />
Umuntu wabibonye wabaga muri Leta ya Massachusetts avuga iby’uwo mwijima muri<br />
aya magambo: “Mu gitondo izuba ryararashe umucyo uratangaza, ariko mu kanya gato<br />
ririjima. Ibicu byaramanutse byegera hasi, maze biturukamo umwijima uteye ubwoba. Ibyo<br />
bicu bimaze kugaragara, imirabyo yahise irabya, inkuba zirakubita maze hagwa imvura nke.<br />
Ahagana saa tatu za mu gitondo, bya bicu byaragabanutse, maze ibintu birahinduka, maze isi,<br />
ibitare, ibiti, inyubako, amazi ndetse n’abantu bahindurwa n’umucyo utunguranye utari uwo<br />
ku isi. Hashize iminota mike, igicu cyijimye kiremereye cyatwikiriye ikirere cyose uretse<br />
umucyo muke cyane wagaragaraga imuhero kandi hari hijimye nk’uko biba bimeze saa tatu<br />
z’ijoro mu gihe cy’impeshyi. . .<br />
“Ubwoba, guhagarika umutima, ndetse no gutangara byarushagaho kuzura intekerezo<br />
z’abantu. Abagore bahagararaga ku miryango y’inzu, bakitegereza icyo kirere cyijimye;<br />
abagabo bahise bataha bava mu mirimo bakoreraga mu mirima; ababaji bahagarika imirimo<br />
yabo, abacuzi na bo biba bityo, ndetse n’abacuruzi. Amashuri yahise afunga abanyeshuri<br />
barataha, maze abana biruka bahinda umushyitsi bajya iwabo. Abari mu nzira bagenda<br />
bahagaze ku mazu yari hafi yabo. Buri muntu wese yaribazaga ati: “Ni iki kigiye kuba?”<br />
Byasaga n’aho umuyaga ukaze ugiye kwisuka mu gihugu cyangwa nk’aho ari umunsi<br />
w’iherezo rya byose.<br />
“Bacanye amatara maze yaka nk’aho ari mu ijoro ricuze umwijima ryo mu gihe<br />
cy’umuhindo. . . Inkoko n’ibishuhe byaratashye bijya aho birara, amashyo n’imikumbi<br />
birataha, ibikeri biragonga, inyoni ziririmba indirimbo zazo za nimugoroba ndetse<br />
n’uducurama dutangira kuguruka. Nyamara abantu bo bari bazi ko butari bwira ...<br />
“Dogoteri Nathanael Whittaker wari umupasitoro w’itorero rya Tabernacle i Salem,<br />
yayoboreye imihango yo kuramya Imana mu nzu yaberagamo inama maze abwiriza<br />
ikibwirizwa yahamirijemo ko uwo mwijima ari indengakamere. Amateraniro yo gusenga<br />
yateranye ahandi hantu henshi. Amasomo yasomwe mu buryo butunguranye yose yasaga<br />
n’ayerekana ko uwo mwijima uhuje n’ubuhanuzi Ibyanditswe bivuga. . . Bimaze kurenga saa<br />
tanu za mu gitondo, umwijima warushijeho kuba mwinshi.” 383 “Mu duce twinshi tw’igihugu<br />
byari bikomeye mu gihe cy’amanywa, ku buryo abantu batashoboraga kuvuga igihe<br />
bifashishije isaha cyangwa ngo babashe gukora imirimo yabo yo mu rugo batabashije gucana<br />
amatara. . .<br />
“Uwo mwijima wakwiriye ahantu hagari cyane. Wagaragaye mu karere ka kure cyane ka<br />
Falmouth gaherereye iburasirazuba. Iburengerazuba, uwo mwijima wageze mu karere<br />
kitaruye cyane ka Konekitikati ( Connecticut) no mu mujyi wa Alibaniya (Albany). Mu<br />
majyepfo, wagaragaye ku nkengero z’inyanja, kandi mu majyaruguru waragiye ugera ku<br />
mpera ya kure ya Amerika.” 384<br />
