had intended to gel that box on board without anybody save my chief mata and myself knowing ifc not that I had any ponlar feais butftat snch was the best plan My experitoce extending over twoandthirty

casks were learly rotted through It so happened that in all my crew I had not a man who was in the habit of drinking to excess and as my men found plenty to amuse them on shore I allowed them pretty
