Record of Illtreatment or Punishment.

Name of whom illtreated / punished - William Herbert. Name of person by whom illtreated / punished - William Matthew. Punished 11 October 1884. Offence- attempting to shove the skipper overboard. Nature of punishment - Three blows on the nose with fist. Note- after questioning the crew concerning the above, it appears to have been a mistake on the part of the skipper, in thinking that William Herbert attempted to push him overboard which was owing to the vessel giving a sudden jerk. Herbert was thrown against the skipper who at the time was leaning against the bulwarks. No punishment was inflicted upon Herberts.
