The little girl was treated on board the ship by the surgeon: ‘Owens child, a delicate little girl’ aged 7. While playing, she received a slight bloodied nose, but the next day had an accidental blow on the head which produced a very profuse haemorrhage from her mouth and nostrils. She passed out having lost above half a pint of blood. ‘The little patient had all its clothes removed from the upper parts of the body, over which were laid clothes wetted with vinegar & water, especially along the course of the large vessels; the body lying with the head elevated, in a current of air. The child was kept in this position six hours; the Epistaxis (bleeding from the nose) did not return.’
