Convict Notes
Samuel HOPKINS aged 17, Convict, 22nd December at Sea, was assisting the Butcher in killing a sheep. The deck being very slippery when the Vessel gave a sudden roll and in endeavouring to save himself from falling accidentally received an incised wound across the Metacarpal Bones of the left hand from the Butcher's knife. The Exterior Tendons of the Ring and little fingers were completely divided and the other Exteriors were exposed to view- The lips of the wound were immediately brought together by strips of adhesive plaster and a soft Pledget and Bandage. On the 29th the dressings were removed and adhesion had taken place the whole line of the wound except on the little finger. It was now daily dressed till the 7th of January when it was completely cicatrized and on the 9th he was discharged from the Sick List, cured.
