Table IV 



Gross Lays of the Foremast Hands Shipped by Three Whaling Vessels 

 for Thirteen Voyages Made Between 1836 and 1868^ 



1 The Minus Accounts signify that the balances were due from whalemen to 

 owners — or, otherwise stated, that these hands returned from voyages of 

 two to four years actually in debt to the owners for the amounts indicated. 

 The Plus Accounts, on the other hand, indicate sums which were due from 

 owners to whalemen. See the chapter on Debits and Credits for a detailed 

 discussion of the numerous items which resulted in these final cash balances. 

 These figures constitute simply another arrangement of the accounts of fore- 

 mast hands which were employed in Table I. The same accounts have been 

 used for both tables. 



2 These figures were secured from the same foremast hand accounts which 

 formed part of Table II. They were taken from four consecutive voyages 

 of the bark Marcella, 1845-1856; from six consecutive voyages of the ship 

 James Maury, 1845-1868; and from three consecutive voyages of the bark 

 Minerva, 1 836-1841.
