belaying pins
something
the
nasty
the-
napt. The was within twelve fast
Mr. 4. His back was towards Mr. 1. He turned his head round to
look at Bro. Jordach him not
to look at.
He said some-
thing in Spanish (which I did
not understand) al-
though he was sober. Boat-
swain laughed. He
was sober. I
saw the strict prisoner, about a week before he
was stabbed. I know-
ing that he was entitled to more grog, he was then stuck
to ask for it.
The event
was a prisoner; and prisoner, forward, turned round, looked
towards boatswain, and
gave a malicious
laugh. Boatswain went after prisoner
and asked him what he meant
by giving
such a laugh. Prisoner
did not reply;
and Bro. & Ken pushed
him. I do not recollect whether he struck him with the open or
closed hand. When Mr. H came aft after this striking prisoner, he said to him that prisoner had a
bad intention towards him. Boat-
swain replied that prisoner was a
bad man, had been disrated, and was not fit
to be on board ship. I consider that prisoner, after this e-
vent, had ill will to boat-
swain.
I took prisoner into cus-
tody,
the 20 #Catcher, he was dredged.
He is now dressed [prisoner is dressed
on Saturday]. I never heard prisoner threaten to do harm to Boatswain. I am unable to say
whether prisoner
voluntarily agreed
to serve on
board
the Harlequin. I do not think that
any
one on deck heard what prisoner [said].
