The Resolution was fitted out with the same complement of officers and
men she had before; and the Discovery’s establishment varied from that
of the Adventure, in the single instance of her having no marine officer
on board. This arrangement was to be finally completed at Plymouth; and,
on the 9th, we received the party of marines allotted for our voyage.
Colonel Bell, who commanded the division at this port, gave me such men
for the detachment as I had reason to be satisfied with. And the
supernumerary seamen, occasioned by this reinforcement, being turned
over into the Ocean man-of-war, our several complements remained fixed,
as represented in the following table:
