jHufes,
The DRAM SHOP.
THERE stands the Dram Shop, pen’ry’s fatal
cause,
Which every morn a lounging circle draws;
£.(rg p waters, brandy and WHIIE
Tempt th’ unfeeling idlers from their home.—
Domestic ewes and bofmefs, must give way,
Till drams of “ liquid fire ” illume the day ;
And yet these sots will murmur and repine,
And charge their wretchedncfs to Trade's de
cline ;
Naked and breadless hear their children
mourn,
And not one sigh their callous’d fouls return
A few short years, this tippling courie they
Tun,
While rags, difeafr and infamy come on
Till DEATH, whose patience can no longer
bear
To let their mm burnt corpses taint the air !
Pud's the blue glimm’ring flame of lile away,
And rids the world of useless lumps of clay.

ROBERT WATTS.
Savannah , March 22d, 1796.
Columbian iEufeum, &?<%
To the PUBLIC.
“ Bat if your wrathful Hood is apt to boil ,
“ Or are your nerves too irritably Jlrung,
“ Wave alldifpute, be cautious if you joke ;
“ Keep Lent for ever , andforfwear the bowl. ’ ’
Armstrong.
IT is with extreme reluftance, I take the lib
erty of obtruding myfelf on the public ;
but as my name ha? been brought forward, in
an illiberal and wanton-like manner to them,
in the Columbian Museum , of the sth instant, in
an Advertisement iigned N. 11. Buco.C. Car
ter, it becomes my duty in juflice to my
felf, to (late to an impartial public, a narra
tive of the fa£l*, left by a contemptuous si
lence which their piece merits, it might ope
rate on the minds of those, unacquainted with
myconduft, as a trait acknowledgment of their
charges.
Mr. N. H. Bugg, and Mr. C. Carter, en
gaged their passage with me on board the Schoo
ner Commerce, bound from Charlellon to Sa
vannah ; I laid in Stores for Mr. Bugg. About
2 o’clock P. M- on Friday, the 24th of June
lafl, I left the Wharf, got down to Sullivans
Island, where Melfrs. Bugg and Carter delired
to go on (bore; I had the Boat manned with
four hands, they went oft about 5 o’clock, to
the Island, and kept the boat and hands wait
ing on them, till about 11 o’clock at night,
when they came on board, as I presumed, much
intoxicated —They inforirv'd me, they had
been turned out of th” CofF<*e-Houfe, by the
mailer, Mr. Joseph Oman (for what cause)
they know poflibly now, the bed) iheyexpref
fed a wish to go back and beat him—l perfua
dedthem from it. Sometime afterwards, they
forced me out of my bed, and desired me to go
with them in the boat, to visit the vessels lying
there—l endeavored to perfuadc them against
it, telling them the impropriety of dillurbing
them at midnight, that such behaviour would
give offence ; but all my remonstrances were
m vain, they would go, and infilled on my go
ing also ; I told them how necessary it was, the
hands and myfelf fiiould have rest, if wc Ihouid
proceed to sea the next day.—Having no white
person on board at the time, I could make no
refiftancc, therefore was compelled to go with
them ; they had usurped the command of the
veil'd 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, Capt. Moore,
(both Packets in the trade betwen Chari *fton
and Savannah) disturbed them and their passen
gers, several of whom came on deck ; I apo
logized to Capt. Dickinson, also to Capt. Moore
and Capt. Tate.
I cannot but remark, that Messrs. Bugg and
Carter went on board these velfrls without either
Breaches or Stockings ; about 3 o’clock in the
morning of Saturday, we returned on board ;
Mr. Leslie, a palfeng -r with Capt. Dickinson,
accompanied them ; shortly after, Mr. Bugg
and Mr. Carter quarrelled together, talked of a
duel, and wete determined on fighting—they
went on deck. I was fearful blood would be
fpilt, I requested Mr. Leslie to go up and en
deavour to pacify and reconcile them ; he did
so. Between 5 and 6 o’clock, I weighed an
chor and stood for the bar, but the wind not
being so fovorable that I might be within Ty
bee bar that night, and the hands, as also my
ielf, having had no rest, from the behaviofir of
the two passengers, as before Hated, I thought
it moil prudent to return back ; I did so.
Thus was I prevented proceeding on my voy
age at that time, as can be confirmed by Cap
tains Dickinson, Tate and Moore ; about 4
o’clock, A. M. I anchored off Sullivans Ifl
arrd ; Melfrs. Carter and Bugg had slept in the
interim. About 5 o’clock they delired the
boat and four hands to take them ou shore;
I complied with this desire, on their promif
iug 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 was
about 12 o’clock at night,, before I went on
shore for them myfelf, with 4 hands to bring
them off to prevent delay, as the wind might
be favorable in the morning ; after enquiring
at the Coffee-houfc, and fome other decent houf
cs, in vain searching, I saw a light in a small
houfeatthe back of the Coffee-houfe, I enqui
red for them, Mr. Bugg was lying in abed on
a floor in the outward room. I think the little
houfc contained two ; I alked him where the
other paflenger was, he told me he was gone to
fome house, but did not choose to tell—parti
cularly, I told him my coming was to advise
their going on board to prevent delay in the
morning, when I eXpeclea to get under way ;
he said he was hid, to remain on fliore till
morning, when he would lee M.. Carter, that
they would both be where he was then, and
that they would come on board if I feat my
boat for 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.
On Sunday morning after sunrise, I sent the
boat on shore with four hands for them, not
thinking of any delay, I had weighed anchor
and let fail, the hands I saw were busily em
ployed in fcarch of them. I saw one go to
the house where I left Mr. Bugg; the wind at
W.N-W. encreafed, and llrong 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 15 fathoms deep ; I could only
keep in close to Ihore, and with a speaking
trumpet hail’d, to ftiow I made ufc of every
exertion to get them with the boat olf. By
this time, it was near 8 o’clock, when having
fallen down so low, and thinking the veffcl
might be in danger, I was compelled to bear
away ; the boat did not reach me till near the
bar ; the hands informed me they Had been
in quell of the two paflengersto several houses;
the one who had been up the night before with
me to the house where Mr. Bugg was, told me
a person, probably Mr. Calhoun, on enquiry,
said Mr. Bugg had got up at 3 o’clock, and
gone out, he knew not where, nor could he
find them out; that knowing my situation, and
feeing the veffcl getting so tar dowii, they had
come off.
Having given a detail of fadls, ’tis now ne
cessary I should m ike fome remarks on their
publication. They assert I had taken their
Cloths and Money away; I do positively assert,
that I never signed any bills of lading for
cloths, or receipts for money, nor do I know of
either. They had two trunks, which I de
livered them on their arrival here, (the day af
ter myfelf.) The night before I failed, Mr.
Bugg, borrowed two dollars of me, which he
has since returned. How the next morning,
he was left without a (hilling, or how he or
Mr. Carter, could go on shore asftrangers, thus
fltuated, where gentlemen fnould be provided
with cash, they best know. Mr. Carter, had a
frrvanton board ; for his passage, or Mr.Buggs’s
stores, I never received any compensation.
They have arrogated to themfelvcs an idea of
consequence, unknown to me; as if their names
to a publication should be so weighty, as to in
jure me in my calling. I have been in the
trade fome years, have had much freight, and
many passengers during the time ; and I trust,
I ever difeharged my duty with fidelity on the
one part, and to my passengers paid every at
tention.
Messrs. Bugg and Carter, fay I had the
fear of God before my eyes : I wish they may
hereafter have the fame. They mention villainy
of heart. On what foundation ? I had no
cloths or money , as they Hate : if such things
were in their trunks, they received them fare
here, and cannot deny it. Messrs. Bugg and
Carter, knew I had sent on fliore for them, be
fore their publication, which they have confef
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.
I might have added much more ; but I trust
this much will fulfice. On their rcadingthis, I
expe&they will heartily repent their conduct
in mentioning my name in print, on a fubjeu
which must tend to flicw their folly, and les
sen what credit or reputation they may have.
Messrs. Bugg and Carter, may be affared, I
never wish to have them as passengers ; such
rude behaviour (I might add else) 1 never re
ceived irom any before.
