Transcription Notes:
In some cases I have transcribed for mathematical clarity and/or continuity rather than transcribing text literally which would confuse context if transcribed purely by SI rules. Many times in these pages Hall refers to "R's & G.H.'s Chro." Hall is checking his watch (chronometer) he has named "Rescue" with the chronometer on board the George Henry, in order to correct for Greenwich time, in order to calculate Longitude.
