taken to Jail. When the patrol left the
crowd again attacked the officers with pick

Grether drew pistol, a. the crowd was clamor-

officers finally got away and the wounded were
picked up.
Robert Brown, Q sailor on the Charleston,

oficious and for the sake of securing the reward
offered for the deserters, they undertook to ar
rest the sailors, whose shore leave had not ex-
