Served apprenticeship as ______. 15 years as captain's mate. Never bad ______ of engines.

The second column to the right:
Has behaved this month (June 1848). Sent to Malta hospital 28th Sept - 48 with epileptic fits brought on by excessive drunkenness on _____ at Malta ~ M. R Sept 1848
Mr Stirling Wm's surgeon of terrible reports suffering from palpitations of the heart and general debility of ____ "restraint?" to keep him from ____ injury - 26 Feb _____ on invalid but _____ at Malta from epileptic fits brought on by drunkenness Nov 1849.

Thanks for any help! :)

The second column to the right:
Has behaved this month (June 1848). Sent to Malta hospital 28th Sept - 48 with epileptic fits

One little tiny (positive!) amendment:

has behaved well this month

Worth noting, seeing as after that it all gets rather unhappy...  :'(

Best regards,
Karen
