Colonist C is a wealthy tea merchant in Boston. Colonist C's goal in life is to make money and he doesn't care if he violates the law. Since the Townshend Acts placed a tax on tea, Colonist C has been
illegally importing tea from the Dutch. His ships frequently have to hide from the British navy and
British customs officials who can board his ships whenever they please. Recently he was caught
smuggling in tea, but fortunately he was able to buy off the official with a large sum of money.
Friends have informed Colonist C that the Royal Governor of Massachusetts has issued an arrest
warrant for Colonist C, and friends advise him to go into hiding.
