Folios 482-483: Charles Lock, HMS Inspector, Gravesend Reach.

Also wishes to commend other members of the crew who behaved well during the mutiny, including Quartermaster Elijah Smith, Boatswain John Crompton and Marine Private Richard Peters, who he believes should be promoted to replace Corporal James Istow [?].
