Indeed.  And further perusal of the records shows that the settlers
had already drunk the brewed contents of the 410 OTHER tea chests that
were already on the dock.  Those suckers were WIRED and they damn well
wanted to throw SOMETHING into to the water, just to see it splash!
It's sad for the British but glad for history that they just happened
to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.. :-)
