Details: The gaol fever was also carried aboard the Royal Admiral, which sailed from England on May 23, 1800, but it raged less malignantly. She had embarked 300 convicts, 48 fewer than on her previous voyage, when Philip had considered her overcrowded, and 43 of her prisoners died on the passage. The Royal Admiral also carried 11 missionaries, having been chartered to convey them, after delivering her convicts, to the South Sea Islands. The surgeon was Samuel Turner, who previously had been surgeon of the missionary ship Duff, but he became ill of the fever and died on June 2. On June 23 a reported plot to seize the ship threw the missionaries into something very like a panic. Dividing themselves into watches, they stood guard in the steerage from 8 p.m. until 7 a.m. each night. But no rising took place. Four strange sail were sighted on August 4. The Royal Admiral's decks were cleared for action as she made all sail, and about five o'clock the boom of gunfire could be heard - a novelty, though doubtless an unpleasant one, for the convicts crowded in the stifling prison. The commodore of the convoy, Captain Rowley Bulteel, in the Belliqueux, 64, and the East Indiaman Dorsetshire compelled the French 40-gun frigate La Concorde to strike, while after a running fight lasting several hours another French frigate, the Medee, surrendered to the East Indiamen Bombay Castle and Exeter. Next day fifty-nine prisoners from La Concorde were transferred to the Royal Admiral, and were soon complaining that the convicts had robbed them. On August 12 the Royal Admiral arrived at Rio de Janeiro, after a passage of 81 days from England. Twenty-three convicts had died, and there were a further five deaths by August 25. In addition to Surgeon Turner, four seamen, a convict's wife and a convict's child had also died, bringing the total death-roll to 35 persons. The Royal Admiral did not sail from Rio until September 15, and when she reached Port Jackson on November 20, after a passage from England of 181 days, the deaths among the prisoners had risen to 43. Almost all the survivors required medical treatment. The state in which the convicts had been embarked alone had been responsible for the large number of deaths and the great amount of sickness. On March 10, 1801, Governor King reported that the prisoners were still very weak, and later still, on October 30, 1802, he declared that many remained in a state of debility and would never recover the strength of men.
