Including: Wages and other expenses in bringing the ship from Aberdeen to London; expenses in East India Dock; accounts for supply of provisions, rope, canvas, chandlery and chronometers; pilotage from the Downs to the Start. The Pilot was Robert Allert and his receipted bill, dated 7 Oct 1863, is annotated as follows: ‘Pilot rough weather all the way down - a succession of gales - left the ship - all well off the Scilly Isles. Pilot says he has been put to much extra expense in going with the ship so much farther beyond the Start as agreed upon - and in addition had to bring up a stow-away - and will lay the case before the owners by letter - and hopes they will reimburse him the extra expenses’.
