in her cargo seventeen chests of tea.
Her presence was regarded az an in
suit to the populace, and orders
were issued that the vessel and her
cargo should be placed under guard
until the county delegates could be
notified. This alarmed the owner
of the vessel, Alexander Stuart, and
to allay the popular indignation he
made voluntary proposition that
the tea should be carried from the
brig and burned in the presence of
the executive committee. This was
rejected as falling shor. Of proper
satisfaction. Thereupon Mr..
Stuart directed the brig to be run
aground at Windmill Point, where,
on the 10th of October, he set fire
to the cargo with his own hand. 1t
