Henry Doidge Rundle, age 40 (should read 46), Master.
  Discharged at Fowey May 22nd 1860.

Abraham Ellery, age 50, born Fowey, Master.
  Joined at Charlestown May 25th 1860.       But see Note [1].

  Hinzy? Edmunds, age 50, born Plymouth,  Mate.
  Charles Dyer,   age 36,      St.Blazey, Seaman.
  Richard Bun         15,      Fowey,     Seaman.

Gloucester 14 Jul 1860, Master: A.Ellery [PRO BT107/345]


NOTES
[1] From Lloyds List June 2nd 1860 column 1 :
      Sandwich arrived 31st, Mary, Randall with loss of anchor in Aldboro' Bay
      in the gale of 28th.
    (N.B. Other reports in Lloyds List showed that this NNW gale caused lots
          of casualties among shipping, of which loss of an anchor is trivial
          by comparison.)

    There is a bit of a mystery here. Abraham Ellery was supposed to have
    taken over as Master on 25th May 1860. But the above Lloyds report gives
    "Randall" as Master. Did Ellery claim to be Rundle for some reason? Did
    the Sandwich Lloyds agent get the Master's name from out of date records?
