Folios 40-41: Surgeon's general remarks. The Mangles sailed from Portsmouth on 25 April 1835 with 310 male convicts on board, arriving in the Derwent River on 1 August 1835, a passage of 98 days. The convicts behaved better than could be expected. There were fewer complaints than the surgeon had expected from such a body of men. To assist ventilation, sentries were posted to prevent anyone entering the prisons during the day, apart from the boys attending school and the cleaning parties, until they were allowed back in at 6pm. Prophylactic means were used to prevent scurvy and the diathesis was checked in many of the prisoners. The soldier who died was in hospital just before his embarkation and the surgeon pointed him out to his officer as being unfit for the voyage. The co-operation of the commander of the Mangles and the officer of the guard greatly assisted in landing the prisoners in a healthy condition. The surgeon was obliged to add several sheets to the journal. Signed P Suther, Surgeon and Superintendent, Mangles convict ship
