He referred me to a seaman of the name of Matthew Pyke.

This person, when brought to me, not only related readily the particulars of the usage in both cases, as I have now stated them, but that which he received himself.

He said that his own arm had been broken by the chief mate in Black River, Jamaica, and that he had also by the captain's orders, though contrary to the practice in merchant-vessels, been severely flogged.

His arm appeared to be then in pain; and I had a proof of the punishment by an inspection of his back.
I asked Matthew Pyke if the crew in general had been treated in a cruel manner.

He replied they had, except James Bulpin.
