Convict. Collins: At a muster of
the convicts which was directed during this month,
one man only was unaccounted for, James Haydon.
Soon after the muster was over, word was brought to
the commissary, that his body had been found
drowned in Long Cove, at the back of the
settlement. Upon inquiry into the cause of his
death, it appeared that he had a few days before
stolen some tobacco out of an officer's garden in
which he had been employed, and, being threatened
with punishment, had absconded. He was considered
as a well-behaved man; and if he preferred death to
shame and punishment, which he had been heard to
declare he did, and which his death seemed to
confirm, he was deserving a better fate. Convict

Collins: It was naturally
expected, that the miserable allowance which was
issued would affect the healths of the labouring
convicts. A circumstance occurred on the 12th of
this month, which seemed to favor this idea; an
elderly man dropped down at the store, whither he
had repaired with others to receive his day's
subsistence. Fainting with hunger, and unable
through age to hold up any longer, he was carried
to the hospital, where he died the next morning. On
being opened, his stomach was found quite empty. It
appeared, that not having any utensil of his own
wherein to cook his provisions, nor share in any,
he was frequently compelled, short as his allowance
for the day was, to give a part of it to any one
who would supply him with a vessel to dress his
victuals; and at those times when he did not choose
to afford this deduction, he was accustomed to eat
his rice and other provisions undressed, which
brought on indigestion, and at length killed
him

Collins: On the arrival of the
Lady Juliana, Surprize Scarborough and Neptune all
possible expedition was used to get the sick on
shore; for even while they remained on board many
died. The bodies were taken over to the north
shore, and there interred.

Collins: The melancholy scenes
which closed the last month (Jun) appeared
unchanged at the beginning of this. The morning
generally opened with the attendants of the sick
passing frequently backwards and forwards from the
hospital to the burying-ground with the miserable
victims of the night. Every exertion was made to
get up the portable hospital; but, although we were
informed that it had been put up in London in a
very few hours, we did not complete it until the
7th (Jul), when it was instantly filled with
patients. On the 13th (Jul), there were four
hundred and eighty-eight persons under medical
treatment at and about the hospital - a dreadful
sick list

Collins: The numbers who died by
sickness in the year 1790, were two seamen, one
soldier, one hundred and twenty-three male
convicts, seven females, and ten children; in all,
one hundred and forty-three persons. In the above
time four male convicts were executed; one
midshipman, two soldiers, and six male convicts
were drowned; one male convict perished in the
woods, and two absconded from the colony, supposed
to be secreted on board a transport; making a total
decrease of one hundred and fifty-nine
persons
