Sickness

"Buchan had died of epilepsy at Tahiti, Southerland of tuberculosis at Botany Bay, bos'n's mate Reading of an excess of rum at sea, Banks' two servants in the cold near Cape Horn, and three men had been drowned.

[At Batavia] Surgeon Monkhouse was the first to die. Tupaia and his serving lad soon followed. Forty more were ill and the whole surviving crew was weakly. [Sailing to the Cape] Astronomer Green, artist Parkinson, Midshipman Monkhouse, the one-armed cook, ten sailors, three of the marines, and even the tough old sail-maker died."
