| AUCKLAND | |||||||
| Departed from Glasgow on 20th September, 1879 and arrived in Port Chalmers | |||||||
| on 24th December, 1879. Captain McDougall was in command. | |||||||
| Transcribed from the Otago Witness, 27 December, 1879, Page 19. | |||||||
| ARRIVAL OF THE AUCKLAND. | |||||||
| The Albion Company's ship Auckland. Captain McDougall with 13 saloon passengers and 455 | |||||||
| free and assisted immigrants, was signalled from the Pilot Station on the morning of December | |||||||
| 23rd. The tug Koputai proceeded down and took her in tow, bringing her up as far as the | |||||||
| Powder-ground, where she anchored. While coming up the cross channel, the Customs' launch | |||||||
| having on board Captain Thomson, health officer; Dr Drysdale, medical member of the Board of | |||||||
| Health; Mr Colin Allan, immigration officer; Mr J. R. Monson, Customs Department; and Captain | |||||||
| Logan, marine superintendent to the Albion Company, met her, and in reply to the usual | |||||||
| questions they were informed by Dr Norman that during the passage there had been 40 cases of | |||||||
| measles, the first case being on October 10th, and the last convalescent yesterday. Part of the | |||||||
| clothing had been destroyed, and the rest washed with disinfectants, and as far as possible the | |||||||
| patients had been isolated in the hospitals. There had been seven deaths, six being of infants, | |||||||
| from various causes, and one of an adult, a female, aged 63, from diarrhoea and dysentery; also | |||||||
| during the passage there had been five births. Upon hearing this sad state of affairs, the authorities | |||||||
| at once ordered the yellow flag to be run up at the main, and the vessel was placed in quarantine. | |||||||
| It is decided that the whole of the immigrants be conveyed to the Islands to-day, while the saloon | |||||||
| passengers will remain on board, and after the ship has been thoroughly cleaned and fumigated, | |||||||
| she will be admitted to pratique. It is now some time since a ship made her appearance at this | |||||||
| port with a foul bill of health, and it is much to be regretted that after a passage of 83 days the | |||||||
| immigrants should be compelled to spend their Christmas on the Quarantine Islands. The following | |||||||
| are the vital statistics furnished us by Dr Norman, the surgeon-superintendent, whose first visit to | |||||||
| New Zealand it is:— Births — October 10th, Mrs Lawson Gillies, of a daughter; October 17th, Mrs | |||||||
| McKenzie, of a daughter; November 5th, Mrs Noble, of a son; November 13th, Mrs Baird, of a | |||||||
| son; December 12th, Mrs Gibbs, of a son. Deaths — October 31st, Robert Wilson, aged 10 | |||||||
| months, of diarrhoea; October 26th, William Moore, aged four months, of measles, diarrhoea and | |||||||
| convulsions; October 31st, Robert Robertson, aged 12 months, of general wasting; November | |||||||
| 5th, Jane Ross, aged six months, of bronchitis and convulsions; November 25th, Osborne Mitchell, | |||||||
| aged two years, of diarrhoea and rickets; December 7th, Chrisa Mason, aged nine months, of | |||||||
| measles and diarrhoea; December 7th, Ellen Chambers, aged 63, of diarrhoea and dysentery. At | |||||||
| present there are two convalescent cases on board, one of measles and the other of diarrhoea. | |||||||
| Both patients are progressing favourably, and are isolated from the rest of the passengers in the | |||||||
| hospital. Both Captain McDougall and Dr Norman speak in the most favourable terms of the | |||||||
| conduct of the passengers throughout the voyage. Boat and fire drill has been kept up, divine | |||||||
| service regularly performed by the Rev. Mr Mclntosh, and as much amusement as possible afforded | |||||||
| to the people. The ship Otaki was spoken off the Cape de Verde group, all well, Captain Devitt | |||||||
| wished to be reported. | |||||||
