Folio 52-55: Account of remittent fever that occurred on board. The number of cases were very small due to the ship's location being two miles of the coast and the infected military personal being segregated immediately from the naval personal on board. On Folio 53 a case study and post mortem report is included of 'William H Blake of 40, Captain Royal Navy, HMS David, Commanding Officer of Naval Brigade, Praksee, Gold Coast'. The surgeon notes that the death of this officer, and officers in general, could have been prevented if they had had reported their ailments earlier. He states that the officers are unwilling to resign their appointments; concealing their ailments, for fear of forfeiting a chance of earning distinction, or losing liberal pecuniary rewards.

Folio 54: The surgeon remarked that the black troops (West Indian) and Kroomen (who acted as carriers) were though of Africian blood, proportionally affected by sickness as much as their white allies from fever. They were comparatively exempt from dysentery but pneumonia prevailed very much amongst them.
