rssd himself and walked away.
u was young man, not over TWO

ssausted. and we marked him down
oucs FOR man without any spirit
~, ava a. we'll toll you that he had Sc
'rsi the place through the influence OF
Natives SS and that he had but a faint

M captain, who had pretty thoroughly
sted himself as to matters aboard OF q

I'm good mind to cast off, come to

protested against such a step, argu-
pQ that the authorities knew their bust
bes and must have confidence in the
han they had put aboard; but, to tell
uu the truth, / had little faith in my
bwn words Supper was the first meal
b be served to the convicts. We had
double galley on deck, with two cooks.
Ind the convicts were to be supplied
With government provisions. 1t was fol
lhe doctor to see that things were prop
erly cooked, to set the hours for the
meals and to take general charge Of the
provisions while on deck. The cages, al
have told you, were built one in real
pf the other, beginning at the fo'castl'
bulkhead. The gangs Of convicts were
Numbered /, 2 and 3, and each had i'll
faptain or boss. Every man was sup
pled with tin plate and cup. Thu
fnt gang to come up was No. 1. A lad
per which was kept on deck when no
use was let down through the fore
latch into space between the first tw,

Eets, and the doctor unlocked the doc
md called to the men to come out il
Inc headed by their captain. AS the,
passed up they marched to the galley
placed cup and plate on a shelf outsid
dasllding window, and the cook CAV
mem their food and drink. Then tn
lne marched around the galley and de
0nded to its cage to eat the meal
linus only one gang was ON deck at
time
