James Riley (captain)
James Riley (1777, Middletown, Conn.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Online Biographies )〕 – 13 March 1840 at sea) was the Captain of the United States merchant ship ''Commerce''.
==Sufferings in Africa==
(詳細はSahara Desert, after they were shipwrecked off the coast of Moroccan Western Sahara in August 1815, and wrote a memoir about their ordeal. This true story describes how they came to be shipwrecked and their travails in the Sahara Desert. The book, published in 1817 and originally titled ''Authentic Narrative of the Loss of the American Brig 'Commerce' ''by the "Late Master and Supercargo" James Riley, is modernly republished as ''Sufferings in Africa''.
The book struck the nineteenth century reader because it was a startling switch on the then-usual master-slave relationship, which was white owners and black slaves.
Lost in this unknown world, Captain Riley felt responsible for his crew and their safety. He told of the events leading to their capture by marauding Sahrawi natives who kept them as slaves. Horribly mistreated, they were beaten, sun-burnt, starved, and forced to drink their own and camel urine. A slave would be worked until close to death and then either traded or killed.
