ADM 101/24/31827-1828 Medical and surgical journal of the Elizabeth convict Ship, for 6 July 1827 to 26 January 1828 by Joseph H Hughes, Surgeon, during which time the said Elizabeth was employed in transporting female convicts from Ireland to Sydney, New South Wales. Folios 3-4: Margaret Carroll, aged 24, Convict; disease or hurt, purging, griping pains and frequent colic. Put on sick list, 1 October 1827, at sea. Discharged, [7 October 1827]. Several of the women suffered griping in their stomachs and bowels from mixing vinegar with their water to quench their thirst in the hot weather. When the Surgeon discovered the cause, he stopped their vinegar. Many cases of headache from exposure to the sun on approaching the equator, also slight diarrhoeas. The heat below decks at night was very great and, because of the convicts fighting and quarrelling at night, the aft barrier was kept closed preventing air from circulating. From 24 September 1827 lime juice and sugar, mixed with water to make half a pint, was served, three times a week wine was mixed with it. 'Margaret Carroll by her tricks, perversity of mind, withal excessively indolent, brought on a state of health teasing and approaching to chorea, refusing all food for several days together, rejecting medicine and unwilling to make any exertions to shake off this torpid state'. She declared herself well and refused further medicine after a large blister was applied to the nape of her neck.
