cd NO harm was intended them. They in-
stanily Obeyed without murmurs or threats.
Some Of our numbers jumped into the
hold, and passed the tea-cheSts to the tack
lie.
As they were hoiSted on deck, others
knocked them open with axes, and others
raised them to the railing, and discharged
their contents overboard-All that were
not needed for discharging the tea from
the first ship, went on board the others &,
warped them into the wharf, where the
same ceremonies were repeated as at the
first ship. While we were unloading the
people collected in great numbers about the
wharf, to see what was going on. They
crowed about us so as to be much in our
way. We paid no attention to them, nor
did they say any thingto US. They evident
ly wished US success, as none of them gave
any information against us. / believe our
stationing Sentries, were to communicate in
formation, in case we were likely to be de-
tected by the civil Or military power They
were charged to give US notice in case any
known tory came down to the wharf But
our main dependence was on the good will
ofthe people.
We stirred briskly in the business, from
the moment we lett our dressing-room.
We were merry in an under tone, at the
idea of making so large cup of tea for the
fishes, but were as still as the case would
admit. No more words were used than
were necessary. Our most intimate ac-
quaintances, among the spectators had not
the least knowledge ofus. I never labor
ed harder in my life, and we were so expe-
ditious, although it was late in the evening
when we began we had discharged the
whole three cargoes before the dawn of
day.
Itmay be supposed that there was much
talk about it next morning. The tories,
civil, military and spies, made a great fuss,
and called the business divers hard names.
Proclamations and rewards, to procure de-
lection, were all to no purpose. We'pre-
tended to be as jealous, to find out the per-
petrators, as the rest. We often talked
with the tories about it, We were all so
close and loyal, that the whole affair re-
manned in Egyptian darkness.-We used
sometimes, afterwards to meet and talk the
affair over, never failing to end by drink

They were danced. they were sung; different

they interspersed invocation with narrative,

Thanks to these sacred revelries for the ideas
