had tried three times to smuggle
himself aboard transports, and each
time had been put ashore before the

Marylanders, however, he determined
to get to the state they came from.
He arranged with some sailors to
put him in a burlap bag and dump
him aboard the. Artemis.
When they got him aboard the
sailors took him below and rfgged
him out in a sailors uniform. but
the naval officers spotted him and
began to put him ashore: Then up
