After the surgeon received an appointment to the convict ship Canton at Somerset House on 24th August 1839, and joined her at Deptford on 27th, he reported of his joining the ship to Lieut Wentworth the agent of Transports, but he did not report himself to the Captain superintendent at the first instance, in which the surgeon personally expressed to Captain Sherriff [Captain superintendent] of his regret in not having reported to him [Captain Sherriff] on joining the ship. Afterwards the surgeon went on board the Leviathan hulk and arranged with the officer in command to inspect the convicts (in conjunction with Doctor Williams). On 5 September 1839 the Guard was received on board consisting of two commissioned officers and 40 rank and file of the 96th and 80th regiments. On the 14 September 1839, 240 male convicts were embarked on board from the Leviathan hulk. During the voyage there were no cases of scorbutus on board, as a result of the surgeon issuing lemon juice regularly to the convicts during the earlier part of the voyage.
