About the Book

Excerpt: ...a bag were accordingly lowered over the ship's side into the boat and away went the little craft to the shore, having, as it was supposed, cheated the Customs. The Caroline continued her course and proceeded to London. The Customs authorities, however, had got wind of the affair and the matter was brought to a conclusion before one of his Majesty's judges. "The Caroline continued her course and proceeded to London."

But, lastly, the men who came ashore from the East Indiamen had a smart little dodge of their own for concealing the tea. How the Deal Boatmen used to Smuggle Tea Ashore.
