need help with this document, please!
« on: Saturday 18 October 14 19:24 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I would like some kind person to decipher what my ancestor did between 1853 and 1857 in the merchant Navy. I have this document and I cannot make out what it says, could someone please decipher it for me. My ancestor was Joseph Butcher and his record is the third one from the bottom.

thank you for taking the time to help me  :)
