So carefully, after waiting until I knew Ma wasn’t going to wake up, I crept outside into the winter air that was as cold yet placid, and began to walk to the harbor. Walking along the main street that lead straight to where the Sons of Liberty, and my Pa, were gathering before going to the harbor. The location was unknown to anyone outside of the Sons of Liberty, but Pa had spoken to a fellow Son of Liberty and I just happened to hear every word, including the location of the meeting.
It wasn’t until I spotted a redcoat when I realized that the redcoats would for sure get me in trouble me if they spotted me past the 10:00 pm curfew. I tiptoed back into my house and changed into few of my Pa’s old clothes, and stealthily crept back out side. …show more content…
When I thought of disguise that Pa would wear for this rebellion I immediately thought of feather headdress’ and elaborate costumes, but after contemplating why they didn’t wear this I came to the realization that having bright and big disguises would just attract more attention. After wasting time coming to that amazing realization, I sprinted after the Sons of Liberty that had left me to go to the harbor, and tried to find my Pa, to make sure that Josiah was correct when he said that all of the men had costumes. I reached the harbor shortly after the main lot of men had, and looked around for my P’s familiar gait, and stature until I spotted him. At first I wasn’t sure if it was him because he had a disguise (Thanks the Heavens) , but when I drew closer I knew it was him because of his birthmark on his left hand. I rushed over, about to embrace him, when I realized that I would be punished severely if he found out that I was out past curfew, and especially if he found out that I was at this Sons of Liberty “excursion”. So instead of walking up to him, I just stayed in eyeshot of him so I could make sure that he was …show more content…
I immediately recognized who the voice belonged to. It belonged to the man in charge of this whole thing, Samuel Adams. He was directing the group of men, but I couldn’t make out his exact words over the chatter of everyone. I didn’t getting much else except for the word, “board”. There was a flood of men that started heading for the boats the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver.
Flashback-
My Pa was furious. It had something to do with British ships coming to the colonies and not returning when they were asked (demanded) to. The Sons of Liberty talked to the governor of Massachusetts, who was appointed by the British, but he would not permit the ships to leave. My Pa said something to my Ma that was along the lines of “if they aren’t going to leave, then we are going to do something about it.
Present-
I didn’t understand what he was talking about before, but know I did. The three ships, the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver, were the ships that didn’t leave when the Sons of Liberty asked them to. And the thing that my father(and presumably the Son’s of Liberty) was going to do about it was dump the ship's
