The North End Caucus formed the guard here that publicly guarded

the tea ships so no tea could be unloaded. Brother Edward Proctor

(St. Andrews Lodge) was known to be leader of this guard. Brother

Paul Revere served with this guard. Later Brother Paul Revere

served in another guard called the Selectmen who walked the streets

of Boston, two by two, and observed the movements of British troops

before he went off on his famous ride to Lexington. The Selectmen

guard met at the Green Dragon Tavern and took an oath of secrecy

over a Bible.
