Woodman
There was an enquiry about the voyage
of the Woodman. The following is the Surgeons report to Governor Brisbane
Surgeon Fairfowl to Sir Thomas Brisbane
Sydney, 25th June 1823
Sir
Arrival of ship Woodman
-----------------------------
I have the honour to report the arrival of the ship Woodman, 419 tons, with
ninety four female convicts and thirty eight women and children free
passengers.
Departure from Cork
-----------------------
The Woodman received her convicts and passengers at Cork on the 22nd day of
December last, but did not sail until the 26th January.
Health of the convicts
-------------------------
Many of the convicts were sickly at the time of embarkation, several came
direct from Hospitals, and before they had been a week on board the sick list
exceeded thirty, consisting principally of female complaints. A very limited
selection only was allowed me there being no convicts in the jails to replace
those whom I might reject; as it was; we sailed three short of our complement
which was 100.
Anxiety of surgeon re health of convicts
----------------------------------------------
At sea the sick list did not for some time decrease in number, and we lost one
woman within the first fortnight by abortion caused by sea sickness, As we
approached the Equator, the heat of the prison, which by a register
thermometer ranged during the night from 83 to 91½, reduced many to a very
dangerous state and for a long time I was seriously apprehensive of a great
mortality, aware also that even the healthy female system could not long with
safety be exposed to so high a temperature in a close atmosphere; I became
anxious to get through the tropics as quickly as possible, and therefore wrote
several pressing letters
to the Master of the ship, stating my reasons in the strongest manner for
desiring him to proceed for water to the Cape of Good Hope, and not to Rio de
Janeiro. My representations were treated with contempt and defiance of them in
utter disregard of the health, the comforts, even the lives of the women under
his charge, which I had represented as in danger; he, without condescending to
give one efficient reason for so doing, put into the latter port, where we
were detained three weeks by the slow mode of watering and by an embargo laid
on all shipping, in consequence of Lord Cochrane having taken the command of a
Brazilian Squadron which sailed to attack Bahia de todos as Santor.
Health of convicts after leaving Rio
-----------------------------------------
We sailed from Rio on the 8th of April, since which we have buried two women.
The sick list decreased after we got to the southward of the tropic, and we
continued healthy until within the last three weeks when we had some serious
cases of dysentery caused my the cold damp state of the prison from numerous
leaks etc. I have however the pleasure to report that they are all in a fair
way of doing well through some are much reduced.
Complaint against conduct of master
-----------------------------------------
In compliance with my Instructions, I have done everything in my power to
prevent illicit intercourse between the Sailors and the women. I regret to
have to add that I have not met with that support and assistance from the
Master, which I had a right to expect, and that he has given me many reasons
to be dissatisfied with his conduct.
I have etc
