2 July 1906
Unalaska, Alaska
About 2:30, N. Fortman, sea., J. Monohan, sea., + D. Kelly, sea., left vessel without permission. Sent Gunner and M-at-A. ashore to find them and bring them back to the vessel. They were found in a saloon ashore and brought back to the vessel: D. Kelly being in a drunken and disorderly condition, by order of the Com'd'g Officer confined him in single irons and in the brig.

Not certain of the spellings - I couldn't find any of them in Concord's crew list ;)

And why would you possibly think they would have been on the Concord's crew at one time or another?! Had they been on Concord, all three of them would have been drunk and disorderly, as would have been the M-at-A, and at least 20 other members of the crew.  ;D ;D ;D
