I love checking the "Conduct" rating on 19th century ship's musters; most of the time the men get a "Very Good" rating, so there's always an untold story when it's "Good" or--even worse--"Fair." I have to wonder if these two cooks on HMS Assistance are being rated on their conduct or their food...
Muster entries for John Brooks and George Youngson, both Captain's and Officers' Cooks. Brooks has a "Fair" conduct rating and Youngson has a "Good" rating.
