Otago Colonist 04 December 1857 The George Canning - We have been favoured by one of the passengers by the George Canning with the following sketch of the voyage from London to Otago, which, although containing no striking incident, is interesting, as affording a pleasing contrast to the miseries endured by the ill-fated passengers on board of some other vessels which have recently arrived in this hemisphere:- We left Gravesend on Sunday, August 23 rd about 4p.m., and with fair wind passed Dover the next morning. About mid-day, however, the breeze died away, and by the evening came right ahead. It was four days before we lost sight of the Isle of Wight, and from that time the wind continued light and baffling, so that 40 days were occupied in reaching the Line, which was crossed on the 2 nd of October. We were not honoured with a visit from Neptune, but some of the passengers who had previously been initiated asserted their superiority by putting a force pump into requisition with which they liberally saluted the green hands who were hardly enough to venture on deck. This, however, was generally received with good humour, and a spoilt bonnet or torn shirt was the sum little of the damage. The weather up to this time had been beautiful, although our progress was slow; but we soon got into the trades, and proceeded more rapidly, averaging 200 miles per dlem, till abreast of the Snares, which we reached on the 26 th November. The wind then headed us, and we did not reach Port Chalmers till Sunday morning, the 29 th, having been 96 days from port to port, and thus terminating a voyage during which we had many causes for thankfulness and none for complaint. The greatest harmony prevailed throughout, the provisions were both plentiful and excellent, we were not saddened either by death or serious sickness, the crew were orderly and well behaved, and the captain all that could be desired, both as regarded the management of the ship and attention to the passengers. When the weather permitted, there was worship on deck every evening and twice on Sunday, the captain and surgeon conducting the service according to the English ritual in the morning, and Mr Morris preaching in the evening. There was no lack 2

3 of amusement, as there were a goodly number of musical amateurs on board, with their instruments, some of which were put in requisition nearly every evening. We have thus to look back upon our trip as a little happy episode in this our working-day life, and hopeful that it may prove the harbinger of a calm and peaceful evening of our days in this land of our adoption.

In my letter No 1 had the honour to inform you that a vessel would sail from London in four weeks. That vessel is the George Canning, which with 160 passengers for Otago, 74 of whom are assisted. 2. A number of persons have been guaranteed above the age of 50, and even as high as 60 and 70 years of age. Such persons, I humbly suggest, should have more than a mere guarantee: in all such cases the persons should pay their passage money, and should have the means of fitting themselves for the voyage sent to them by the party who guarantees, instead of their applying to me; and I have to request that your Honour would advise me as to such cases. 3

4 3. I have, in conjunction with the agents, requested Messrs, James Macandrew & Co, to provide a vessel at Glasgow or Leith for the 22 nd of September next, capable of accommodating 250 passengers emigrants are ready to sail from Scotland, and in order to make up 250, I am to leave Edinburgh on Tuesday, the 18 th instant, for Blairgowrie, to address a meeting on the 20 th and will remain there four days to meet with parties desirous of information. 5. A number of farmers and labourers on the Earl of Huntley s estate at Battader are desirous of meeting me, as they are intending to emigrate to Canada because his lordship requires their right of pasturage for the purpose of feeding his deer. In consequence of this I have advertised that I will be on the 27 th, and remain in that quarter till the end of the month, and return by rail to Edinburgh. 6. In accordance with your instructions, I have published, in a condensed form, the necessary information to intending emigrants, a copy which is herewith sent. 7. I have much pleasure in saying that Otago is attracting great attention, both in England and Scotland, and that the injury sought to be done to Otago by a work recently published on Australia Tasmania and New Zealand, is of a very superficial kind. Fortunately, the presence of Mr Reynolds in London, and of your servant in Edinburgh, have gone far to counter-balance the intentions of this anonymous writer. And here it is due to Mr. Reynolds to state, that I have received invaluable assistance from him in the despatch of the George Canning ; for as soon as it was known that we had arrived in this country, letters from all parts of the country were sent to the agents, both in London and in Edinburgh, which could only be answered by persons from the colony, and as I could not be in both places at once, the presence of Mr Reynolds for the first four weeks was very opportune. As soon as the Glasgow or Leith vessel is despatched, I am to see the London agent, and arrange with him as to the laying on of another vessels from London. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant JAMES ADAM.

Otago Emigration Office, St Andrews Square Edinburgh, August 17, 1857 Sir, - We had the pleasure of addressing your Honour on the 15 th of May last. Mr Adam reached Edinburgh on 25 th June, and after the consultation as to the mode of procedure, we resolved that an Office should be opened in Edinburgh, and from the date of this letter you will observe that it is in the very centre of the city. Advertisements were inserted, and Mr Adam agreed to prepare a pamphlet on the subject of Emigration to the colony. Since the office was opened the enquiries have been numerous. Mr Adam s valuable pamphlet answers many enquiries from a distance. It is full of valuable information, put forth in a clear and succinct manner. His attention to every one has been very marked, and it has been only equalled by his patience in answering often repeated enquiries. He had been given a lecture at Moffat, and is about to proceed to other parts of Scotland. I was present at Moffat, and he was listened to be a crowed audience with intense interest for upwards of an hour. He proceeds to Blairgowie this week. We sent out circulars to all guaranteed parties immediately after the meeting here, at which Mr. Reynolds was also present. Returns have come in, and several of these parties leave London on the 20 th instant, by the George Canning. We refer your Honour to the enclosed classified list of emigrants by that ship, showing equal to say, 74 adults. 4

5 We expect to despatch a ship from Leith or the Clyde about the 25 th of September, with about 250emigrants. A classified list of those we hop to send to you to-morrow. The list, however, cannot be considered complete, and various alterations may be made upon it. We have thought it right to send it that an idea may be had of what may be expected. We have the honour to be Sir Your most obedient humble servant (For J. Auld and self), James CRAWFORD His Honour the Superintendent of Otago, New Zealand.
