Title

Unloading of Powder & Shot at the Wharf

Description

Hollingsworth declares that he is ready to receive the powder and shot at the public wharf during high tide at one o'clock. However, Mr. Edwards is at the wharf with shot and 45 pieces of kentledge so the boatmen are concerned about the difficulty of unloading at the wharf. The shot and kentledge should be stored elsewhere to make room for the shipment of powder and shot.
