The main mast was condemned whilst we were (I think in Apia) we now have been in Hololulu for a week and a half with no further mention of the mast.
Looks like it's going to be a Mare Id job.

They are starting to come down heavy on the crew for being naughty.

Francis Daniels (CFC) having been brought aft the following sentance of a summary Court Martial, he having been found guilty of swimming ashore and leaving ship without permission was read to him-vig: Solitary confinement, in double irons, on bread and water for thirty days, a full ration every fifth day and lose one months pay as Capt of Forecastle amounting to Twenty-Six dollars and Fifty cents.

Just set sail back to the US and they have found a stow away. How unusual they are usually trying to get off the ship.
Still heading northwards the next day so I guess he is not going back from whence he came.

I can't remember the ship, but I had one guy trying to desert and who swam away from the ship twice. I can't remember how he escaped the third time, but he eventually did succeed.

That was another one of my ships.
I don't know why the crews don't like me.
