Wm HUGHES: Lon- Isle of Wight.10.2 - 1868- Moreton/ditto, Rbt CAINCROSS: Brisbane, 25.9.68 - -1869 London,1.2.69. /Bay + Official log.10.2.68-1.2.69 +Articles * ML, MSS 2344m Box y v1134 Hi Tom Captain William Hughes and 2nd Mate, John Henry Gillett were arrested and charged with the manslaughter of one of the crew. The EAGLET then sailed under Captain Cairncross as the former were remanded to stand trial. The story is on Trove but it looks from what you have sent that the Ship's Papers are held in London. I had thought a Surgeon was necessary on any voyage but this doesn't appear to be the case here. Many thanks. Regards, Kate Sydney, Australia
