Description

Josiah Burchett and Thomas Corbett. Some surgeons have complained of hardship when not entered on board ships from the dates of their warrants and when their ships are cast away by the loss of their instruments and chests. Our opinion is that since the present encouragement is more than when they were on rigging pay, the surgeons would go absent if this indulgence were allowed them. Since 1692 they have been allowed money and free gifts as well as their wages to supply themselves with drugs and medicines. It would be beneficial if Captains and Lieutenants also were entered only on their appearance
