Colonial smugglers were smart and realized that losing a smuggled cargo in the hold of an oceangoing ship meant losing both a large cargo and a valuable vessel. Over time they adapted their methods to use smaller vessels, offloading the smuggled cargo from the larger ship at sea and dividing it up between smaller boats for the trip to shore. Dudingston realized exactly what the smugglers were doing, and he began stopping every vessel he saw regardless of size. The result of his new enforcement tactics, however, meant everything from whaleboats and tenders to coastal packet ships drew his attention. Merchants who were carrying trade within the colonies—cargoes generally free of the contentious duties and taxes—found themselves stopped and boarded by the Gaspée for inspection since Dudingston suspected everyone.6

His arrival instigated an angry exchange between Governor Wanton and Vice Admiral John Montagu, who commanded the Royal Navy’s North America Squadron, over the fact Dudingston would only report to the Navy and the Admiralty and not to colonial officials. Montagu insisted Dudingston was doing his duty and “behaved like an officer” and threatened to report Wanton to London for his “insolent letters.”5 military superior to or independent of the civil power

rumors that the colonists were considering arming their own ship to contest his freedom on Narragansett Bay.

Any captures or seizures made by the Gaspée had to be sent to Vice-Admiralty Court for disposition. Rhode Island had established its own court in Newport, but after capturing an illicit cargo of rum in the middle of May 1772, Dudingston began sending his captures to the court in Boston instead. The take had been large: twelve hogsheads, or large wooden casks, which held approximately three liquid tons of illicit rum. It was clear anything he seized was unsafe in Newport. This wasn’t only because of the Liberty incident a few years earlier, but also due to rumors that the colonists were considering arming their own ship to contest his freedom on Narragansett Bay. The lieutenant would need to leave the rum under guard if he left it in Newport and, with the Gaspée’s small crew, he didn’t have the manpower for it.

The ship carrying the captured rum cargo was owned by the Greene family, the noted Rhode Island merchants whose members included general assembly member and future Continental Army Major General Nathaniel Greene. The family filed charges against Dudingston, and a warrant was drawn up for the lieutenant’s arrest by the colonial authorities.7

Smuggler:“I’m dying! I’m so hot, there’s no air in here.” <b>Briana:</b> ”Yeah, it’s the bread room. It’s lined with tin to keep out the rats." Smuggler: "I think that hanging stove might be problem. Dudingston lit it just to taunt me. What a smarmy hogshead. I'll help you out if you help me cool down." <b>Briana:</b> "You're going to help me? How's that going to work?" Smuggler: "Well, for one thing, you look like a fool. What in the blarmy hell are you wearing? You look like someone decorated you for Christmas. Tell you what? I'll give you my shoes if you help me." <b>Briana:</b> (Thinking to herself: well, they did tell me I was going to have to try to blend in if I wanted anyone to give me any information…) I'm also going to need your pants. Smuggler: What? <b>Briana:</b> I need to blend in, and I can't do it looking like this. I'm not really supposed to be here either, my friend. Smuggler: Fine. Find me something to help with this heat, and we have a deal. <b>Briana:</b> Action: Use fan on smuggler Action: Gives the smuggler the fan she found on the wall in the Captain's quarters Grievance Dialogue: Smuggler: (Fanning himself) Ah, so much better. <b>Briana:</b> I don't want to pry, but would you mind telling me how you ended up locked in this awful little bread room? Smuggler: Oh, that. Well, I was moving some molasses from the Camen Islands, in the Caribbean. I'd been at sea for about 4 weeks, and was almost back to Providence, when the Gaspée came upon me. Dudingston started shouting, and I saw the men ready themselves at the foredeck cannons. I work for John Smith, the biggest trader in town, and most people know to leave his shipments alone. Well, not Dudingston. I told him who I worked for, and he asked me for my papers. I explained that I didn't have any papers to show him, and that he should shove off. He arrested me right there, took my boat, all the molasses, and he locked me up here until he could get me back to shore. He has no right! Doing the bidding of the King, collecting his payment, and taxing us into bankruptcy. Why do you think we smuggle the stuff in the first place?

Eh. Just a tip: try to find Captain's Logbook. Those guy out there'll probably be pretty grateful to get their hands on it. You know theuy've got that warrant to take him in, right? Well, they're going to need some evidence they can present to the press or in court to argue that Dudingston crossed the line from privateering into harassment and illegality. Searching EVERYONE anytime, for any reason. It slowed everything down and made everyone paranoid. Lot of innocent whalers and fishermen were interrogated and accused of God know's what! But they were just doing their jobs. The insane and illegal taxes from the King were what drove us to this in the first place, I tell you.

Well, I was moving some molasses from the Cayman Islands, in the Caribbean. I'd been at sea for about 4 weeks, and was almost back to Providence, when the Gaspée came upon me. Dudingston started shouting, and I saw the men ready themselves at the foredeck cannons. I work for John Smith, the biggest trader in town, and most people know to leave his shipments alone. Well, not Dudingston. I told him who I worked for, and he asked me for my papers. I explained that I didn't have any papers to show him, and that he should shove off. He arrested me right there, took my boat, all the molasses, and he locked me up here until he could get me back to shore. He has no right! Doing the bidding of the King, collecting his payment, and taxing us into bankruptcy. Why do you think we smuggle the stuff in the first place? \'\'Briana:\'\' Wow. I'm seeing it now. You just described two of the Legendary Grievances. Match the smuggler's story to the grievance concerning the regulation of trade and unfair taxes Correct Answer for Grievances: Grievance 13c: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: Grievance 13d: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent \'\'Briana:\'\' And what was the King expecting? He's taxing you without a say in who has the power or what they do with it? He doesn't have the right! He shouldn't have the right! Correct Answer for Rights, Briana says: Article 1, Section 9, Clause 5: No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 6: No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from one state, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties in another. \'\'Smuggler:\'\' True true! I love that idea. I need to trade, and that would make it a lot easier. \'\'Briana:\'\' Things are going to get better for you soon, I promise. I'll find a way to free you…somehow. \'\'Smuggler:\'\' Jolly-good! I believe you. Take the pants, take the shoes, and have the socks while you're at it. I'm not going to need those without any shoes, after all. ***5 Persuasion Points Received *** Action: Take smuggler's pants, shoes, socks. Use pants with Briana. Use shoes with Briana. Use socks with Briana. Now you are dressed like a sailor. Conditionals: People on the rest of the ship will not talk to you until you put on this outfit. If you encounter them without wearing the clothes, they will say: “What are you wearing? How can you go around dressed like that?!” “You better not let the Captain see you dressed like that!” “What do you think you are, some kind of fashionista?” <<set $footerDisplay to "[[Back|The Bread Room]]">>

/* <<set _temp2 to [ Here, take this hardtack. (eats vigorously) <b>George:</b> Thank you so much! This may save my life… <b>Briana:</b> Why are you up here anyway? <b>George:</b> Last time we went to port I tried to escape the ship. Some of the men caught me as I was sneaking over the side, ready to swim to shore. They tied me up, and then as punishment Dudingston put me up here on a continual watch-duty for a week. I’ve been sleeping on the mast, made it my new bed, living room, dining room, and toilet. Quite a life I’m leading. <b>Briana:</b> Why were you trying to escape? <b>George:</b> Why? Because I don't want to fight for the British Navy. I just wanted to settle in America. I joined a trader's crew in England and smuggled myself across the ocean, only to be rejected when I landed in Boston because I'm Jewish. <b>Briana:</b> Wait, what? Why did you have to smuggle yourself out? And you couldn’t live in Boston? <b>George:</b> Not since the King decided to limit the size of the Colonial colonies has it been easy to come here. More immigrants means greater numbers and greater power in America. And that's starting to frighten him. It's one of the reasons he doesn’t want anyone moving west of the Appalachian Mountains. He would tell you that he doesn’t want to fight the natives anymore. It’s too expensive. But he also doesn't want to lose control. Briana:So you’re telling me that the King determines who can come to America? Not the Colonials? <b>George:</b> That is what he’s trying to do. <b>Briana:</b> But, you made it here. So what are you going to do now? <b>George:</b> Well, after I arrived in Boston and found out I really wasn’t welcome, I got work on a whaling ship making its way toward Rhode Island. I’d been told that of all the colonies people of all faiths could live the most freely there. It seemed promising. I only ended up on this schooner because I had the bad luck to cross paths with the Gaspée, and Captain Dudingston, as we approached Providence near the end of our hunt. Apparently, Dudingston was short a few crew members. So he boarded our whaling vessel and pressed six of us into service on his ship. <b>Briana:</b> “Pressed\" like they were pushing you? <b>George:</b> “Pressed\" like forced into service, technically under threat of execution, but they don't emphasize that part. Being a Lieutenant in the British Navy, he had the legal authority to take as many British seamen as he needed from virtually any ship at sea. Most of our crew here is made up of other pressed men, like me. I tried to escape a few days ago, and that's how I landed up here. <b>Briana:</b> So Dudingston could just grab anyone he wanted? <b>George:</b> Not exactly. They are supposed to be British. And the skilled tradesmens are not to be touched: harpoonists, sailmakers, and shipwrights and the like. And generally officers aren’t supposed to press Colonials, but if you're at sea, and you don't have the papers to verify your citizenship or your trade, you're fair game. You can get stuck on one of these boats for months before you escape, or get killed, or they let you go, while your family wastes away at home with no idea what happened. How did you get here? <b>Briana:</b> Oh, I'm from the future. But before I get to that, tell me if I’ve got this straight: Correct Grievance Response: Grievance 7: He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. Grievance 17: He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. Correct Rights Response: First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

You know these guys? Of course I know these guys. I //work// with a number of these fine gentlemen. They buy the molasses from me, they turn it into rum, and trade the rum for slaves in Africa.

Hey, Abraham, what should we do with this one? //They all look at you.// If you help the smuggler cool down: I can vouch for this one, gentlemen. She's on our side, definitely not working for Dudingston. If you don't help him: I need her help earlier, and she left me to bake!! Throw her over the side, I don't care. Wait, wait!! I was pressed into service!! You can let me go, I'm on your side! See here, I'm a Daughter of Liberty, I've got proof!! (Use your Daughter of Liberty Pin) Well. Look at that. She's telling the truth. It'd be pretty weird for someone to carry that around who wasn't a Patriot, but... she could have //taken it// from someone, you know! Just saying. I was in the riots in New York. I helped offend and annoy the troops in a wide variety of ways during the occupation in Boston. And I'm only here now because I was pressed into service by thatarsewho's lying over there on the table!! So: Let. Me. Go! //You yank your arm away, and pull yourself back to the wall.// //Abraham is surprised, and looks angry for a second, and then relaxes.// Fine. It's not like you can do any real harm around here. If you want to make yourself useful, you can help us find proof of the different ways Dudingston has bent the law for his benefit. Recently, he's been pillaging the coast, claiming he's gathering vital supplies. But he's destroying peoples' fences for firewood, and taking livestock for slaughter; he's marching into peoples' homes and pressing their sons and slaves into service, right from the dinner table! His Letter of Marque gives him a great deal of leeway, but this is simply unreasonable!! He doesn't care about the lives he's changing or the people he's tearig away from their families. We've already got a warrant out for his arrest. We need hard proof that he's been breaking the law. Maybe he wrote down some of the details of the boats and stores he consfiscated illegally, how much he thought they were worth... Could have taken notes so he could split some of the bounties he brought in. If you find anything like that, bring it to me. And if that doesn't work out, the boys will need help on the upper deck setting out the combustibles we brought.

What are you fighting for? What do you mean? We're fighting for liberty!! We're fighting for the king to allow us a vote towards our own futures. We're fighting for freedom and equal rights to those guaranteed to any englishmen! But after all that... We are lawyers, dentists, teachers, fishermen, whalers, sailors!! All hard-working sons of Rhode Island! But with Dudingston? Why are you really out here? For molasses? Give me a break. Actually... hold on. You //are// aware that rum is made from distilling molasses? So without molasses, you have no rum. It takes about 1 gallon of molasses to produce a gallon of rum. So, Dudingston seriously cut down the flow of cheap molasses from the West Indes into our distilleries...our famous Rhode Island rum is the talk of the world... And I mean, really, rum, truly is the lifeblood of Rhode Island. But... doesn't the money, the currency, actually come from the slaves you sell? You trade the rum for men in Africa? Don't you use the rum to buy slaves, and sell those slaves throughout the colonies? I don't know. I don't hate him. I haven't decided yet what I think of him. So you've got all your principles. I get that. And you've got all your And why does that matter? Yeah, but you're out here trying to end Dudingston's stranglehold on the mouth of Narragansett Bay! And the money in Narragansett Bay comes from rum. So your real problem is that Dudingston has put a stranglehold on the rum. Well. Yes.

He asked around and discovered that Providence, Rhode Island had a small Jewish community, and a temple; so he got work on a whaling ship headed for Providence, and felt quite certain things were looking up. When his whaling vessel entered Narragansett Bay outside Providence, their ship was raided by Captain Dudingston, a privateer tasked with catching smugglers. Dudingston was short on sailors because most of his crew had abandoned him the last time he made it to port. And so, just as George was about to reach his destination, he was pressed into service, forced to work for Dudingston as a temporary member of his Majesty's British Navy. But George was having none of that, and so at the first chance he got, he tried to escape the boat.

So he wasn't terribly worried when The Commission to Investigate the sacking of the Gaspeé was created, even though he'd led the raid, and if he was found out, it'd be his head on the chopping block. The Commission held a higher authority than the courts of Rhode Island, and so any trial they oversaw would be held in England, where a jury was likely to be much less understanding about the sacking of a British vessel. Locally, everyone knew what an aggressive, marauding ass Dudingston had been, and that in many ways, the Gaspeé got was it deserved.

The doctors say I\'m bleeding as you lay here next to me, sleeping soundly… the most beautiful thing I\'ve ever seen.<br><br>I want you to be happy, my little love, but you need to understand: the world outside is a dangerous place. You have to learn how to defend yourself against the oppression that awaits you. So I need you to understand a few things about how the world works. I asked your father to hold this note until I thought you were ready. Now seems to be the time he chose. <br<><br>The dangerous men in this world do not act randomly. They follow patterns, and those patterns will give them away. The first step to solving a problem is identifying it, after all: These men undermine the common good, the social glue and commitment to civility that keeps us from tearing each other apart. Dangerous men may also try to undermine the rule of law, or the ability of the people to change the laws in their legislatures; They may block our ability to make money or find a source of livelihood; They may undermine the judicial system and give us nowhere to go for justice; They may harass us and make us vulnerable at home or in the streets; And they may even make war on us, through military means or psychological ones. <br><br>And what is slavery, my love, but a kind of war made on your brothers and sisters? Keep this letter, my love. Come back to it when you need a reminder. These are things you will have to defend against as you move through this world. <br><br>These last years, your father and I have worked so hard to make sure you were born free. I implore you: use your freedom bravely, little one. Fight for us, but above all, try to be a good anticipator. You must develop a strong mind and strong logic. This is vital, because you do not want to fall for other peoples' tricks, and they will try many underhanded things to get you to do what they want... they always do. If we simply accept the life we have, the people that want to oppress us will win, and people like us will lose.<br><br> I love you with all my heart, little one. I believe in you.
