which thenceforth he kept set up t>e-
liind the l>ar, saying that it was more,
fair ami square-like for the customers '
to .«ee their beer drawn from the wood |
than through tile enginefrom the deuce
knows w here.
The closing of Baxter's wliarf was a
<a>l blow to him, but a worse came
•ssiii alter, for lieiug of a too active dis­
position he took to smuggling tobacco
and rum from incoming ships, and be­
ing discovensl by the excise was sent
to prison, and tlie Joy lost its license.
The I nvweis obtained a I'resli license to
sell beer and put Putty in to manage
the house. When he came the spring
tides had flooded the cellar unit seeing
that it was of uo use lie had the trap
screwed down to save tlie expense of
putting new binges on it. Since then,
as I have »aid, no one had gone down
Into tlie cellar.
