Folio 15: After this unfortunate beginning I was in hope that we should have no more sickness, but on the morning of the 12th while preparing to get underweigh, the mother and wife of one of the convicts were allowed on board to see him. Whilst talking with them on deck, he was suddenly seized with vertigo, universal tremor, nausea and vomiting, and such a state of weakness that he was unable to support himself? He was taken below and in less than an hour had every symptom of malignant cholera.

Folios 15-17: Robert Coney, aged 28, Convict; disease or hurt, cholera. Put on sick list, 12 March 1833. Died, 13 March 1833.

'He became insensible and died about 2am on the 14th'.
