Bounty Logbook Remarks, Jul. 18-20, 1789

Remarks at Coupang Saturday 18th to Monday 20th July 1789

Fresh Gales at ESE and Fair Weather moderating towards night. Employed on board the Vessel.

At ½ past One on Monday Afternoon Mr. David Nelson departed this life. The Fever was inflamatory. The loss of this Honest Man bears very heavy on my mind. His duty and integrity went hand in hand, and he had accomplished through great care and dilligence the object he was sent for, always forwarding every plan I had for the good of the Service we were on. He was equally serviceable in my Voyage here in the Course of which he always gave me pleasure by conducting himself with Resolution and integrity.
