152 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. Savannah, July 1, 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. AGUSTUS ROGERS. Savannah, July 7 th, 1796.
