Boston Tea Party
Eyewitness Account:
Joshua Wyeth
Joshua Wyeth was only 16 years old when he was a participant in the
Boston Tea Party. He reported the details of his adventurous night to a local
pastor. This first-hand account was found and published in a book edited by
Francis S. Drake. The full title of the book is Tea Leaves: Being a Collection
of Letters and Documents Relating to the Shipment of Tea to the American
Colonies in the year 1773, by the East India Tea Company.
1 Our numbers were between twenty-eight and thirty. . . . I had but a
few hours warning of what was intended to be done. We first talked of
[setting fire to] the ships, but feared the fire would [spread] to the
town. We then proposed sinking them, but dropped that [idea]
through fear that we should alarm the town before we could [finish.]
2 We had [noticed] that very few persons remained on board the
ships. So, we finally concluded that we could take possession of them,
and discharge the tea into the harbor without danger or opposition.
To prevent discovery, we agreed to [dress] to resemble Indians as
much as possible. [We smeared] our faces with grease and lamp black
or soot, and should not have known each other except by our voices.
Our most intimate friends among the spectators had not the least
knowledge of us.
3 At the appointed time, we met in an old building at the head of the
wharf. We fell in one after another, as if by accident, so as not to excite
suspicion. We placed a sentry at the head of the wharf, another in the
middle, and one on the bow of each ship as we took possession. We
boarded the ship moored by the wharf1
. Our leader, in a very stern and
resolute2
manner, ordered the captain and crew to open the hatchways.
[He ordered them to] hand us the hoisting tackle and ropes, assuring
them that no harm was intended them. The captain asked what we
intended to do. Our leader told him that we
were going to unload the tea, and ordered him
and the crew below. They instantly obeyed.
4 Some of our number then jumped into the
hold, and passed the chests to the tackle. As
they were hauled on deck, others knocked
them open with axes. Others raised them to
the railing and discharged their contents
overboard. All who were not needed for
discharging this ship went on board the
others, [tied] them to the wharf, where the
same ceremonies were repeated. We were
merry, in an undertone, at the idea of making
so large a cup of tea for the fishes. [But we]
were as still as the nature of the case would
admit, using no more words than were
absolutely necessary. We [moved quickly]
from the moment we left our dressing-room.
I never worked harder in my life.
Boston Tea Party Eyewitness Account:
John Andrews
1 Inhabitants: people who live in a certain area
2 Infernal: awful; related to the mythical world of the dead
3 They say the actors were Indians from Narragansett. To [an] observer
they appeared as such, being clothed in blankets, with their heads
[covered], and copper-colored [faces]. They were each armed with a
hatchet or axe, or pair of pistols, [and] their jargon3
was unintelligible to
all but themselves. Not the least insult was offered to any person save one
Captain Connor. [He] had [ripped] up the lining of his coat and waistcoat
under the arms, and . . . had nearly filled them with tea. [When
discovered, he] was handled pretty roughly. They not only stripped him
of his clothes, but gave him a coat of mud, with a severe bruising into the
bargain. Nothing but their utter aversion4
to making any disturbance
prevented his being tarred and feathered.
