Folios 1-2: William Tivey, aged 23, convict; disease or hurt, complained of pain in the loin and thigh of his right side and appeared emaciated, feeble and weak. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Discharged cured, 6 April 1826. Had just recovered from a very severe fever in which he had been both delirious and insensible.

Folios 3-4: James Bennett, aged 22, convict; disease or hurt, fever. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Discharged cured, 27 March.

Folios 5-6: John Edwards, aged 23, convict; disease or hurt, legs and thighs considerably swelled and the skin over each tibia covered in large yellowish and purple coloured patches, was recovering from fever. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Discharged cured, 2 April 1826.

Folios 7-8: John Brazier, aged 21, convict; disease or hurt, scrofulous. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Discharged cured, 20 April 1826. The Surgeon had little hope of the recovery of Brazier from his 'miserable state of complicated disease'. Suffering scrofula, marasmus and excessive debility, with constant pains. He was 'by profession a commedian, and even now, he both in voice and in the distribution and disposition of the linaments of physiognomy, resembles a female more than one of his own sex'.

Folio 9-11: George Wainwright, aged 24, sailor; disease or hurt, severe pain affecting the hindermost part of his head and neck, the integument sore when pressed, and he got no rest at night. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Sent to the hospital, 5 May 1826. He had been twice bled by the ship’s former surgeon, Mr [Rodmel], who thought that Wainwright was shamming. Surgeon Kelly and the Colonial Surgeon, Mr Scott, also think so. There were two men aboard of the same name and from the same part of England.

Folio 11: William Farrell, aged 37; George Casting, aged [18]; James Waller, aged 22; all convicts; disease or hurt, scorbutic ulcers of rather malignant character, gums and joints also affected. Put on sick list, 9 March 1826. Discharged cured, 18 and 19 March 1826.

Folios 12 and 13: Little, Soldier; disease or hurt, scrofula. Put on sick list, 12 March 1826. Discharged cured, 23 March 1826 [folio 12]. Again on sick list 26 March 1826; disease or hurt, pain in his left side shooting down to his testes, chancres and other venereal symptoms which he did not tell the Surgeon about previously. Discharged cured, 3 April 1826 [folio 13].

Folio 13: Sergeant Deveroux of the guards; disease or hurt, secondary syphilitic symptoms such as pains along the course of the tibia, small eruptions with pain on the chest. Put on sick list, 12 March 1826. Discharged cured, 15 March 1826.

Folios 13-14: Maria Hale, aged 6, soldier’s child; disease or hurt, had been in a feverish state for some time, bowels torpid, flesh soft, knees weak. Put on sick list, 12 March 1826. Discharged cured, 6 April 1826. Confined air and heat from the crowding below decks and fiery red spots on her cheeks, which turn blue, and other symptoms, lead the Surgeon to suspect she has a 'septic tendency in her fluids'.

Folio 14: John Brown, convict; disease or hurt, hernia humoralis of the left testis. Put on sick list, 20 March 1826. Discharged cured, 23 March 1826.

Folio 15: George Tingey, Charles Beck, Joseph Mercer, James Tomlin, John Harbour and John Murphy, all soldiers of the guard; disease or hurt, scabies lymphatica. Put on sick list, 29 March. Discharged cured, 13, 23 and 28 April 1826. All were probably infected by Joseph Mercer who said he had the infection when he left England but did not tell the former Surgeon.

Folios 16-18: William Bateman, aged 28, convict; disease or hurt, epilepsy. Put on sick list, 24 April 1826. Died, 26 April 1826. The Surgeon remarks that there was no apparent predisposition to epilepsy in this man, either in the conformation of his body or his arterial action. The circumstances of being confined below by bad weather, in very close and unwholesome air, and with his berth being so positioned that his head was towards the list of the ship, and the motion of the ship; combined with a certain degree of septic tendency of the fluids, contributed to his illness.
