Official Log. SS Envoy November 24 1900. November 23 at 6.30pm I was called on deck by boatswain J Shute, some words arose about the crew he swung & hit me in the eye. I at once retaliated and defended myself and ordered him to his work , he again attacked me in the mates presence. I then struck him several blows bruising him about the face.

Certificates. The fine under regulation 3 in maintaining discipline was not imposed in this case, the skipper informing me he purposed taking action at law against Shute for assault/ I afterwards ascertained that he obtained a warrant for the mans arrest, but the police have been unable to execute same.
