Orders, August 28th. 1804

The commanding officers direct that the two messes who
form the crews of the perogues shall scelect each one man
from their mess for the purpose of cooking, and that these
cooks as well as those previously appointed to the messes of
the Barge crew, shall in future be exempted from mounting
guard, or any detail for that duty; they are therefore no longer
to be held on the royaster.
