Michael.
How do you want the double and triple entries 2100 and 2300hrs , knots and course entered, not much help with the " marks.

Put 2100 as 0.9,7.6 and SSE1/2E,SSE

And, for the other ones, just put in whatever they have and I'll sort it when I work on the voyage. My script will identify the error, and I will try to figure out what they mean then.

Gotta go and have supper...

Three days, three scribes. I doubt if they were 3 wise men.

18th Nov
By order of the SCM Private A.J. Blackwell got solitary confinement, 15 days bread and water and 1 month extra police duty.

Looked back a while (to 8 Nov) and could not find his offense.

25th Dec
Made preparations for a Minstrel Entertainment, which began at 1940 and ended at 2200.

I hope no-one was in Blackface. If so, they should talk to Mr. J. Trudeau about future repercussions.

Interesting (and a bit hypocritical) that they have chosen Christmas to spend a few days doing target practice.

[pommystuart]

All finished.


Michael, may I suggest you add this one to the end of the short 1888 voyage as it does continue on.

[Michael]

Good timing, Stuart. I just finished Shenandoah 1863, and I transcribed the first few days of 1864. So, I'll get to work on your voyage.

You may, indeed, suggest anything. However, I like to keep the years separate. It makes the bookkeeping easier.
