Research Notes

• Spelling: the muster and index read “MAC ARTHUR,” two words.
• Tullibee: terminal_boat is blank and aboard_at_loss is “no.” If he left before her loss, the date and the destination are what the OMPF should show.
• Open: birth and death, census, BIRLS, departure ROC, silversides_patrols, other_boats.
