NOTES
The last dated entry in the diary is July 25th. August 6th was Fryer's 22nd birthday.
Three "captains" are mentioned in the Diary. The ship's master was a Captain Harper. Captains Moale and Moult are mentioned as passengers, Captain Moult being last mentioned in the April 6th entry. It is likely that Fryer miswrote Moult for Moate in the early days of the voyage, and that there was only one captain on board as a passenger.
1 Fryer was born in Hythe.

Fryer was engaged to Anna Roleston of Chudleigh.
&
Anna Roleston worked as a seamstress in Teignmouth.
Fryer was a collector of photographs and probably an avid amateur photographer. He mentions his collection of 5,000 lantern slides in his will, but these cannot be located.

Fryer proposed marriage to Anna Roleston (1838-1879) on his 21st birthday. They were married in the chapel of the British Consulate at Peking in November, 1864, by the Revd Thomas McClatchie. Fryer was teaching at that time at the Tung-wên Kuan, or **Interpreters' College**. Revd McClatchie, whose brother-in-law was Sir Harry Smith Parkes, was a Church Missionary Society missionary in Shanghai from 1845-1882.
9
Anjer-Lot on the Straits of Sunda, Java, near Bantam.
Fryer mentions keeping a journal or diary in his later letters, but such a record has yet to be found.
10 Fryer's younger brother and lifelong correspondent.
11
George Smith, D.D., of the Church Missionary Society, entered China in 1844; appointed first Bishop of Victoria, 1849-64.
12 Charles St. George Cleverly.
