Day 40 was started. At that time this occurrence took place, Artridge was nearest & Mr Ropkins and the prisoner, and I saw him with a stave in his hand, we rushed forward to Broloplane assistance, and In Passage appeared confused. (Ghubragees": Morsopkins used to beat the crew when they did not do their duty properly, but I never knew him beat any person without cause. Said not like Hopkins, he beat me twice with a rope. Many of the lascars likes the increased punishment of their men with their hands. When a grave offence is committed, the Lascaris usually are ordered to inflict a certain number of lashes on the offender with a rope. Lascars I have seen accustomed to the usage prescribed of Manilamen I cannot speak with confidence. I have only sailed twice with them, Aniver saw any of them struck before the instance now in question. The knife which I took from the prisoner was at his waist. It was sharp, but all knives should be sharp, as the crew have to cut ropes and hard substances with them. I attended the deceased after he was wounded I used to lift him up to change his position, and carried him in my arms to the quarter.
