Depiction: A party of sailors in a cabin are fitting out a handsome young creature to "run the gauntlet" of the Custom-house officers, or rather to go on shore, with as full a cargo of excisable articles as they can secure round her person. Huge pockets of "old Japan china, tea, gum", etc. are disposed round her waist, together with a small keg of "coniac" and a flagon of otto to roses. Chests of Congou and Souchon and flasks of arrack are standing about.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson del.".
