Captain Pendleton sends a list of officers who engaged in work in Kingston, Jamaica, following the earthquake. Pendleton reports that the work of these officers and the men under their command merits the highest praise and their conduct was excellent. He notes that “practically the whole ship’s company volunteered for this duty” and at times there were more volunteers than could be employed. Pendleton also lists the names of Americans who left Kingston on the USS Missouri.
