a cup of warm coffee is to be given in the morning to each 
European, whenever the surgeon thinks it advisable, and also to 
such of the black men as the surgeon may think require it ; to 
make which, one-third of an ounce of coffee, and one- third of an 
ounce of sugar are to be issued as an extra allowance. 
XVII. — As it is most desirable to encourage temperate habits 
on board the steam-vessels of the Expedition, more especially with 
a view to the preservation of health ; it is my direction that such 
individuals as do not take up spirits, be supplied daily with the 
established allowance of lemon-juice and sugar, except when theii- 
allowance of grog shall be stopped for punishment, 
XVIII. — The Kroomen are allowed only two-thirds proportion 
of spirits, which is always to be mixed with at least three waters ; 
but, as an encouragement to them also, not to take up their 
allowance, they are to be paid for any such savings, at the rate of 
six shillings per gallon ; thus making their savings at two-thirds 
allowance of all spirits, calculated at this rate, equal to full 
allowance, at four shillings per gallon. This order is not to apply 
to savings payable to the sick mess. 
XIX, — It is my direction that the issues of the following 
species of provisions on salt meat days be regulated from the time 
of arrival on the Coast of Africa by the following scale, observing 
that cranberries and pickled cabbage (which are to be considered 
as an extra allowance) are to be issued only in proportion to 
the salt meat actually taken up, and that the pickles are not to be 
served with pork, unless when salt meat shall have been issued 
the day before : —

XX. — Preserved meats are to be issued to the company of her 
Majesty’s steam-vessels of the Niger Expedition on Sundays and 
Thursdays, whenever the crews shall have been two days pre- 
viously on salt meat ; or, if more palatable to the crew, it may be
