a musket or blunderbuss was .discharged into their
boat, and the other was instantly alongside. Mr.
Kempe, sen. asked what they meant by firing without
giving the time to answer their hail ? when one said,
my came is Painter, I am a customhouse officer,
and had a right to bring youto." They searched their
beat, in which they only found some pilchards. The
custom-house officers then rowed cid'. Dining the
above conversation .and search, James remained sit-
ting up in the boat, without feeling himsef wounded,
