'Of low stature, thin, delicate appearance, scrophulous habit of body. Right knee anchylosed from a white swelling and always ailing'. He had been in hospital with a bad cold and chest pains only a short time before embarking. His knee became very swollen and painful and his thighs rigid and discoloured, they were rubbed with opium and oil, 'which in many of the other cases, always gave relief'. On 11 April, he got up and went to the privy, said he felt poorly from the motion of the ship in the night, ate a basin of gruel at 12 and died without a sound at 12:30.

Folios 37-39: John Beck, aged 24, Prisoner; disease or hurt, diarrhoea. Put on sick list, 3 March 1837. Died, 16 April 1837. 'Of stout make and doughy appearance', he complained of being frequently purged in the knight, with sickness of stomach, nausea and vomiting. His legs became oedematous and covered with small vesicles, 'varying in size from No 4 to that of buck shot', filled with a yellowish matter. On removing the dressings from his legs on the 30th March, 'a quantity of steam arose from the heat of his legs'. On 1 April his legs appeared scalded. His right hand also became swollen with an ulcer on the little finger. He continued to grow worse, suffering 'colliquative diarrhoea', until he died.

Folios 39-40: John Riley, aged 63, Prisoner; disease or hurt, scorbutus. Put on sick list, 20 March 1837. Died, 27 April 1837. He had enjoyed good health until after his capture in 1831, when he was the first attacked in the cholera outbreak in April of that year, leaving him with black patches on his legs. On 20 March he had small dark petechiae covering his lower extremities and florid gums. He was given one dram of nitre in one ounce of lime juice with a little sugar, water and a drop of the oil of peppermint, every four hours. His salt provisions were stopped and he was given full diet. This seemed to arrest his disease but tee medicine was discontinued because it disagreed with his bowels. The lime juice was diluted more, mixed with wine and given in small quantities.

Folios 40A-41: Thomas Hunter, aged 19, Prisoner; disease or hurt, scorbutus and fever. Put on sick list, 24 February 1837. Died, 19 April 1837.

On 2 April he had catarrh, which was cured, and on 6 April an attack of cold shivering which lasted nearly three hours with great feebleness of the lower extremities. An intense fever and delirium followed.
