true, it will be officially announced this

IT is with extreme relftcbnce, I take the lib
erty of obtruding rnylelf on the public ;
imt as my name has been brought forward, in
an illiberal and wonton-like manner to them,
in the Columbian Mujai.ni, of the <yh inltant, in
an Advertilement signed N. H. Bucc,C. Car
ter, it becomes my duty in juflice to my
lelt, to slate to an impartial public, a narra
tive of the fatfs, 1 alt by a contemptuous si
lence wliich their peace merits, it might ope
rate on the minds oi those, unxquaintod with
my conduct, as a trait acknowledgment of tlieir
charges.
Mr. N. H. Bugg, and Mr. C. C a e r ~eng
aged their palfage with me on board the Schoo
ner Commerce, bound from Cbarleiton to Sa
vannah ; I laid in Stores foi Mr. Bugg. About
2 o’clock P. M. on Friday, the 24th of June
last, I left the. Wharf, got down to Sullivans
I/land, where Aleifrs. Bugg and Carter desired
to goon fhorc; I had the Boat manned with
four hands, they went off about 5 o’clock, to
the I Hand, and kept the boat and hands wait
ing on them, till about 11 o’clock at night,
#iien thcycameon board, as I presumed, much
intoxicated.—They iaformed me, they had
been turned out of the Coliee-ffoufe, by the
master, Mr. Jofcph Olman (for what ciufe,
they know poflibly now, the belt) they eXprel
led a wirh to go back and beat him—l persua
ded them from it. Sometime afterwards, they
forced me cut of my bed, and desired me to go
with them in the boat, to visit the vefleis lying
there—l endeavored to perfuadc them againlt
it, telling them the impropriety of disturbing
them at midnight, that luch behaviour would
give offence ; but all my remonstrances were
in vain, they would go, and inhfted on my go
ing also ; 1 told them how necelfary it was, the
hands and myfelf should have rest, if we should
proceed to sea the next day.—llavingno white
person on board at the time, I could make no
reliftance, therefore was compelled to go with
them; they had ufurpedthe command of the
veflel and people on board, they ordered the
boat with four hands to take them along fide of
the Schooner Neptune, Capt. Dickinson, and
the Sloop Uxbridge Packet, Cap).. Moore,
(both Packets in the trade bet wen Charleston
and Savannanj disturbed them and their passen
gers, several of whom came on deck ; I apo
logized to Capt. Dickinson, alio to Capt. Moore
and Capt. Tate.
I cannot but remark, that Meflr*. Bugg and
Carter went onboard these vefleis without either
Breeches or Stockings ; about 3 o’clock in the
morning of Saturday, we returned on board ;
Mr. Leslie, a paflenger with Capt. Dickinson,
accompanied them ; shortly after, Mr. Bugg
and Mr. Carter quarrelled together, talked ol a
duel, and were determined on fighting—they
went on deck. 1 was fearful blood would be
fpilt, I requested Mr. Leslie to go up and en
dea vour to pacify and reconcile them ; he did
so. Between 5 and 6 o’clock, I weighed an
chor and flood sos the bar, but the wind not
being fofovorable that I might be within Ty
bee bar that night, and the hands, as alio my
felf, having had no rest, from the behaviour of
the two paflengers, as before stated, 1 thought
it meft prudent to return back ; I did Ib.
thus was I presented proceeding,on my voy
age at that time, “SS can be confirmed by Cap.
tains Dickinson, late, and Moore; about 4
o’clock, A. M. I anchored oft Sullivans Isl
and ; MclTrs. Carter and Bugg had llept in the
interim. About 5 o’clock they desired the
boat and four hands to take them on shore ;
I complied with this desire, on their promis
ing me to return on board that night, by 10
o’clock. Riding at Angle anchor, on the turn
of the tide I had to attend to it ; that it ws
about 12 o’clock at night, before 1 went on
ihore for thorn myfelf, with 4 hands to bring
them off to prevent delay, as the wind might
tie favorable in he mom.ng , after enquiring
at the Cofice-houf •, and fome other decenthoul
es, in vain fcarcliing, I saw a light in a frnall
hou(e at the back ot the Coif-e-houfe, I enqui
red for them, Mr. Bugg was lying in on
a floor in the outward room. I think the little
hoclccontained two ; 1 r .fkcd him where ihe
other palfenge; vas, he told me he was gone to
fome house, but did not choose to tell—parti
cularly, I v,luhi;umy w?? to advise
their going on board to prevc v delay in the
morning, when I expefted to get und-i way ;
he f.nd he was hid, to remain on shore till
Qjorning, when he would fee M.. Carter, that
tliey would both be where he was then, a j
that they would come 011 board if I sent nvy
boat tor them; I promised it, went down to
the boat, took one of the, hands up, shewed.
him the place to call at, when I should fend
for them.
011 Sunday mormng after sunrise, I sent the
boat on Ihore with tour bands for them, not
thinking of any delay, I| had weighed anchor
and let Jail, the hands I saw were busily em
ployed m (earch ol them. I saw one go to
the house where I left Mr. Bugg; the wind at
W.N.W. encreafed, andftroug ebb going ; on
ly one hand on board left, I could not hand
or lower fail, and drop anchor, where the wa
ter may be 35 fathoms deep ; I could only
k-'ep in dole to shore, and with a (peaking
trumpet hail’d, to show I made use oi every
exertion to get them with the boat off. By
tins time, it was near 8 o’clock, when having
lallen down so low, and thinking the veflel
might be m danger, I was compelled to bear
away ; the boat aid not reach me till near the
bar ; the hands informed me they had beer*
in quell ol the two paflengers to several houses 5
the one who had been up the night before with
me to the house where Mr. Bugg was, told mer
a p tlon, probably Mr. Callioun, on enquirv„
f.m! Mr. Bugg had got up at 2 o’clock, and
gone out, he knew not where, nor could he>
find them out; that knowing my situation, and.
leeingthe veflel getting so far down, they had
come off.
Having gi-wn a detail of fails, *tis now ne
ceflarv T should make iome remarks on their
publication. They aflert I had taken their
Cloths and Money away; Ido positively aflert,
that I n-vrr ligned any bills of • lading for
cloths, or receipts lor nio.rfy. nor do i . now of
either. They had two trunks, vviiu.ii i de
livered them on then arrival here, (the’day af
trr myfelf.) The night before I failed, Mr.
burrowed two dollars of me, which he
has liner returned, fl nv the n"\t morning,
hc’Vas left without a fti |,: ing,’or how l,e or
Mr. Carter, could goon shore as (Iraugerj, thus
fitnated. where grutlemen flaouldh-* provided
with cash, they Left know. Mr. Cat mi , iiud .i”
fervanton board • for his naflag. ,or Mr.Bnggs’s
(fores, I never received any to. ip iil it’ioi..
They have arrogated to thrmfelves 3 1 idea of
consequence, unknown tome; as if tlieir names,
(o a publication (bould be so weighty, as to in
jure m- m my calling. I have been in thcr
trade fome years, have had much freight, and
many paflengers during the tirm*; and I trust,
I ever difeharged my duty with hcb-lity on the
one part, and to my paflengers paid every at
tention.
Mrffrs Bugg and Carter, fay I had the
fear of God before my eyes : ( wish they may
hereafter have the fame. They mention villainy
of heart. On what foundation ? I had ni>
doths or money, as they slate ; if such things
were in their trunks, they received them fate
here, and cannot deny it. Meflis. Bugg and
Carter, knew l had sent on (bore for them, be
fore their publication, which they have tonfef
fed. To whom therefore, does the epithet of
a villain belong ? The public will be the judge,
and not two men who have thus behaved.
1 might have added much more ; bu; I trait
this much will fuffice. On their readingthis, I
expeftthey will heartily repent their conduit
in mentioning my name in print, on a fubiet t
which mull tend to Ihew their folly, and lri
(en what credit or reputation they may have.
Meflis Bugg and Carter, may be allured, T
never wish to have them as paflengers ; luck
rude behaviour (l might addelfe) I never re
ceived irom any before.
