Last date of treatment, 23 May 1827, 'from this date gradually recovered'. Had been selected to act as matron of the prison. Developed the idea that she had been poisoned by some of the prisoners and that her clothes and belongings would be stolen. She was removed from her messmates for fear that they would worsen her condition and kept in the hospital, the surgeon intending to keep her there for the rest of the voyage.
