Friday at noon Capt. Chambers came into the hook; the pilot
asked him if he had any tea on board, he declared, he had
none. . . [found to have tea; citizens dumped it.]
At ten o'clock the people all dispersed in good order, but
in great wrath against the captain; and it was not without
some risque of his life that he escaped. Saturday at 8,
A.M. all the bells in the city rang . . . at a quarter past
nine, the committee came out of the coffee house with Capt.
Lockyer, upon which the band of music attending, playing ,
God save the King. Immediately there was a call for Capt.
Chambers, [owner of the tea] -- where is he? Where is he?
Capt. Lockyer must not go till we find Capt. Chambers to
send him with the tea ship. This produced marks of fear in
Capt. Lockyer, who imagining some mischief was intended him;
but upon assurances being given him to the contrary, he
appeared composed. The committee with the music, conducted
him through the multitude, to the end of Murray's wharf,
where he was put on board the pilot boat. . .
