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.

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.

Read the passage:

Major cities all over the world are changing color. The tall buildings that make up the landscape of these urban environments are becoming greener. People are trying to help the environment and have found that green roofs are one way to do so. By planting grass and small shrubbery on the tops of buildings, the environment is getting a helping hand.

It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles on a roof, but the trend is growing. The basic green roof requires a frame, waterproof membrane, gravel for drainage, fibrous material to retain moisture, soil for planting, and a barrier that prevents roots from penetrating the building.

Green roofs started in Europe and are now gaining a strong foothold in the United States. The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility. It is actually the biggest green roof in the country. Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all.

The city of Chicago, Illinois, now has more green roofs than any other U.S. city. There are 7 million square feet of green roofs planted across the city. Toronto, Canada, is the first city in the western hemisphere to mandate green roofs on all new tall buildings. Green roofs are beneficial, not only to the environment, but also to the cities that build them. A recent study in Toronto suggested that if 75 percent of the flat roofs were greened, the city could save $37 million a year on storm water management and energy bills.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that urban environments are becoming greener?


A) Being in New York, it has faced snow, rain, freezing, and thawing. It has survived it all.

B) The largest green roof in New York City is built on the roof of a processing and distribution facility.

C) It is more expensive to build a green roof than it is to lay asphalt or shingles.

D) People are trying to help the environment and have found that green roofs are one way to do so.
