The Surgeon reported to the Lieutenant Governor the incident of 18 August, the guards good behaviour since, his promise to the prisoners to not forward any complaints against them and the fortunate recovery of the wounded men. His intention of prosecuting Leary was put aside on the prospect of gaining some indulgence for the wounded men and other considerations. Only two cases worthy of special notice occurred during the voyage and they are detailed in the next pages of the journal, together with lists of provisions expended. Remaining provisions are to be landed in a few days and the ship discharged from government service. Signed Daniel McNamara, Surgeon and Superintendent. Sydney, 10 November 1821.
Folio 14: Medical and surgical cases referred to in the last paragraph of the preceding journal.

The soldier's muskets were loaded with single bullets, one of which presumably divided on passing through one of the uprights surrounding the hatchway producing several wounds. Duffy had a piece lodged deep in his left forearm, without damaging the bones, and two pieces in his left buttock. There was another wound over the middle of the 8th rib on the left side, passing under the integuments almost to the spine. Some woollen stuff and a small piece of lead were extracted from the wound on his hip, a piece of lead and some bedding from the wound on his side. The fragment assumed to be lodged in his arm was not removed.
Folio 16: Thomas Coyle, aged 22, Convict; disease or hurt, musket wound of the left shoulder, about two inches above the clavicle. Put on sick list, 18 August 1821. Discharged, 20 September 1821. A single bullet entered the left shoulder about two inches above the centre of the left clavicle and passed downwards and forwards over the clavicle, without injuring the ribs, and lodged under the integuments about two inches above the left nipple. The flattened musket ball was extracted from the pectoral muscle on 11 September, no extraneous material was found with it.
Folio 16: James [Muney], aged 25, Convict; disease or hurt, violent, griping pains, with vomiting and purging of bilious matter. Put on sick list, 31 August 1821. Discharged, 2 September 1821.

Folios 17-18: Surgeon's general remarks. The cases detailed are the only ones worthy of note from a large number of trivial cases. There was a disposition to inflammatory complaints throughout the voyage, treated with purgatives and the lancet. Cleanliness, ventilation and regularity in diet kept the ship in excellent health. The vaccine virus provided having probably lost its effectiveness, the Surgeon obtained some fresh at Cork and inoculated two of the four boys under his charge on 30 June. With virus collected from one of these two boys he inoculated the other two on 1 August. Matter collected from the one of the second two boys was brought to the colony but the disease being so well established a fresh supply was not required. Signed Daniel McNamara, Surgeon and Superintendent of male convict ship John Barry Sydney, New South Wales 10th November 1821.
