The document appears to be an amendment to an agreement between the master and seaman aboard a merchant vessel and sets forth new conditions of employment onboard a vessel, in this case, a description of duties ("steer and go aloft") and assignment of wages ("sum of thirty dollars") and outlines specific levels of performance required to receive the pay. If the seaman fails to perform or is not competent, he will forfeit all claims to his share of the wages. The document is signed by Deputy Leighton Robinson.
