his time on her

You shall impress upon the Pilots, any of whom should take ill that a
Certificate of illness be sent to this office on coming ashore from Dr.
O' Donovan. All the Pilots know this but I find it advisable that the
Masters shall impress it to the Pilots. No sick money can be paid to any
person without a certificate from Dr. O' Donovan stating the nature of
the man's illness and date of first attendance.
By order of Capt. Dunn
Copy to each Cutter

Peter Cullen has liberty to Pilot according to his former rating
You can take Cullen on Board and most certainly if he does not improve and finish his duty and keep from drink dismissal must be taken on the first offence. D. Dunn Super.
I have to request that you get the New Mainsail thoroughly dry, make it snug , place in the store and bend your Summer sail. I have also to request that you inform your crew the Daniel Kinsella is dismissed the pilot service for drink and neglect of duty D. Dunn
This fund was set up as a result of the loss of all 15 hands on the no. 2 lifeboat which went to the aide of the ship Palme on Christmas Eve 1895 . It is commemorated every year since. You can get the full story on u-tube or wikipedia. The tragedy was seen from shore as the Palme was trying to enter Kingstown Harbour
The Palme's crew, baby and even the ship's cat were rescued on St. Stephen's Day
