1/12/12 at Sea. Charles Ash, cook Unconscious.

On the 1st of December, I the skipper, came into the galley and the fire was nearly out, so I reprimanded the cook about it and he said he was going to faint, so I sent him on deck in the fresh air. The next time I saw him he had fallen down & was unconscious, so I carried him below and then brought onboard a doctor, we then put him onboard the Hospital Ship. Conveyed to Hull & taken to the Infirmary the
