Details: Mary Nowlan, æt: 26 Convict was put on the sick list at sea 8th Sept. Died 10th Sept. 1848. This convict was small and a slightly [malle?] woman, and possessed an exceedingly large head, an overhanging forehead, and had a singularly repulsive countenance, approaching to the idiotic. She had been complaining for some days to her mess women, before she applied for medicine of a severe cold; with rheumatic pains in the back & loins; she also stated, that she had been for two months in the Infirmary of “Grange Gorman Prison” Dublin, with Typhus Fever, and was discharged only a short time before she was made to embark in this vessel, - when she presented herself at the hospital on the above date she complained of a cough, and pains in the loins, descending to the thighs & legs, skin moderately warm, pulse quicker than natural, thirst, tongue clean, bowels confined. 9th Passed a good night, Laxative Draught has operated freely, pains of back, and extremities not so great, skin cool and pulse natural, has taken Arrowroot & gruel; says, that she feels lighter & pleasanter. She has also had a flannel bandage roller applied round her loins, which has afforded her considerable relief, at night she took the following draught. ... On leaving her in the evening, she said she was quite comfortable. 10th This morning I was sent for early to see this woman who was said to be dying, I immediately descended into the Prison, and to my surprise found her in a moribund state, with scarcely any pulse to be felt, and the action of the heart very feeble, noisy or stertorous breathing, eyes prominent & immoveable, pupils greatly dilated, & foaming at the mouth; in a short time afterwards she ceased to live.
