II am probably the last person living
who has talked with man who took an
active part in the famous Boston Tea
Party" Of 1913. His part was not on
the patriotic side. In 1884 l boarded
with man in this tom by tie name
Of Mitchell. His father, jonathan Mitch
ell, lived with him. The old man told me
that at the time of the Revolution he was
employed on coasting vessel between
the Kepnebupk and Boston, and happened
to be in Boston on the evening Of Dec l6
1873, when . company Of men disguised
as Indians. went on bosrd three tea ships
Which lay st one Of the wharves, and taking
out the chests, emltied the tea into The
water.
1.-The old man raid, st was too bad to
zee so much good tea thro xn overheard, so
thought would save Ii tie. Taking a
boat, went to the side Of one OF the ships
where men were throwing the tea into the
water, and tried to save some ia the boa. !;
but the scoundrels saw me and tried to
dtown-yes, the crest scoundrels tried to
drown me, and was glad to get back to
