Why naval brigade emotions are hard to recover

Do accounts describe naval brigades feeling safe again after returning to their ships?

No particular account is cited. Naval brigades could feel safe ashore and still welcome returning aboard, while older sources often left their emotions unrecorded.

Naval brigades generally felt safe ashore and could still welcome returning to their ships, as in the Boxer Rebellion. Older accounts often omitted feelings because writers did not consider them relevant to the narrative. Their silence therefore cannot establish that sailors lacked those emotions. No specific diary or account is identified in response to the request for testimony.
