Boston Journal, 6th- Arrival of Native Africans.- The bark Wm. G. Anderson, Capt. Hall, arrived here yesterday bringing with him five native Africans for the Boston Aquarial Gardens. Their names are as follows; Machaolo, a Fingo native; Maquala, a Tulu native; Macomo, a Ratie native; Quagga, a Bushman native; Sturrnan, a Hottentot.

Can anyone elaborate on this? At first glance it seems the Africans were to be put on display.
