The deceased shipped at Car. liff on the 6th July, 1877. There are three other men in the Hospital at present who joined the ship. My craw consist of myself, 1st and 2nd mate, table seamen, 2 ordinary, carpenter, steward and 2 baga. Provisions were served out regularly according to the soule laid down by Act of Parliament. I had ten esses of lime juice taken out of Bond. I saw the lime juice served out daily at past 12 o'clock (one bell). This was when all bands were on deck, Essh man had vinegar as well. The chip arrived here on the 31st December, after e passage of 170 days from port to port. The first signs of sourvy were noticed on the 4th November in the Straits of Timor. Strange marks were noticed on Thomas Schmidt's feet and logs and every appearance of survy, and until this date he had refused to take any lime juice. I made an entry on the 4th Septem- ber certifying that Thomas Schmidt, A.B.; Morgan Evans, A.B.; and Nisbee Kasemner, A.B., refused to take their lime juice. This was the sixth day of their rotusal. I did not make an entry the first day as I thought it was only a whim they had taken and they would soon alter their mind. The deceased never took the lime juice after this. I told them it was necessary for their health and that they would get sourry if they did not take it. Schmidt said it was too cold and would give him a belly-ache. They only laughed when I told them they would get sourvy; this is the way with sailors The men were nearly all foreigners; Evans is an Englishman and he is all right, Schmidt (the deceased) told me that he had been in Hospital with fever and ague, and left it fire days before he shipped. Kasemer and Evans began to take their lime juice a few days later, after I had spoken to them about it. In the Gilolo Passage Schmidt was off duty; he was suffering from sonrvy, consumption and fever. The entries in my official log were all made on the day and date there stated; an entry on the 18th appears after one on the 28th it was copied from the mate's log. The entry states: Perres was a faan of very dirty habits; and myself, the mate, and the steward, have several times warned him about eating so much grease and fat, but he took no notice of it. When the man got bad, I copied this entry from the mate's log. I did not make an entry when he got sick; that will appear in the general log. I made this entry to shew that the sourvy was brought on by his own dirty habits. The deceased did take his lime jaico on and after the 4th November.
