Official Log. I W R Barkworth state that Schmidt was totally incapable of performing his duty as cook, the capacity in which he shipped in my vessel. We left Hull 3rd January 1903 & when clear of the dock Schmidt asked me what he had to get ready for dinner. I told him roats beef, potatoes & stuff. When dinner time came I found that he had completely spoilt the whole of the food & from this time the remainder of the deck hands had to take it in turns to cook the food during the remains of the voyage.
