resorted to hitherto would no doubt cause much discontent and odium. I shall therefore be glad of any further advice in the matter.
12. Your Lordship will also find in Mr Thamsett's explanations, much to modify the views expressed by Mr Murdoch. Thus in regard to the very important subject of Light and Ventilation of the Passengers' space, Mr Murdoch supposes the only openings to have been Hatchways not exceeding 12 square feet. Whereas the two Hatchways, 5x5 and the other 7x7, give 25+49 square feet, or more than six times the amount stated by Mr Murdoch. A difference so great in a matter so important as this is quite to alter the opinion which most persons would form of the Emigration Officer's attention to his duties.
13. Mr Murdoch further treats the suggestion that a tarpaulin over a spar is a better covering than a house as one which it is superfluous to notice. But I find that Mr Thamsett never did make such a suggestion. The "Day-spring" was fitted with a regularly made frame over the main hatch, fitted with canvass sides, which could be rolled up or let down according to the weather. And the tarpaulin over a spar is the state to which the Captain's neglect had reduced an otherwise very useful covering, and well adapted for the climates through which the "Day-spring's" track lay.
