williams was indeed a fireman aboard the "san jacinto." there's also -- oh. there's also a william bryan who is aboard the ship, but we don't know that that's our william bryan. if that was william bryan, he was a very healthy man. he was taken to the assistant surgeon for a throat infection and for boils. other than that he was well hail and hardy. we see on march 6th of 1856, in the medical journal, robert williams was treated for prostratia, which would be exhaustion or dehydration. we see he was treated again -- we have a robert williams who was 26 years old and born in wales and if you go to the previous slide, he was 27. so his age bounces around considerably. in hong kong he was treated for lymphocitis, soreness. on november 2nd of 1857 we see rheumatismis in the calf of the leg. we see in the medical report for the older man in the turret that he had arthritis. on march 30th, 1857, he is noted as being 36 years old. there was no other robert williams on this ship, much less a fireman born in wales. it's tempting to think that the m

notice in the earlier reports of the san jacinto, the robert williams there had abscesses. on march 9th, 1860, robert williams was treated for chronic rheumatism. if you notice other firemen on the page here, they were also treated for chronic rheumatism. it was an occupational hazard. and finally in december 19th of 1860, he had paralysis of his wrist. it did resolve itself. there are many, many entries on this. and it was generally thought that he was much better by the end of that tour. george ritter of the "uss brooklyn" was murdered on november 7th, 1859. robert williams may have been a witness. there were 12 witnesses to this murder. some of them were actually chained to stop them from testifying. and it could be that because of this murder, the deck log of the "uss brooklyn" was held by the u.s. marshal's office. it is not available at national archives. so the theory, the remains of the older man found in the turret matched the age and approximate measurements of robert williams. the remains were of the man with arthritis and asymmetrical legs. robert williams of th
