‘…….A large numberof immigrants packed away in utter disregard of the Passenger Act fora protracted voyage of 6 months with no medical officer on board. Twodeaths – an elderly woman, Mrs Buchanan, who died of dropsy on the 8th November and a 2yr old, Kenneth McLeod, of dysentery on the 18th November. Three boys were born. Light weather. At Simon’s Town the passengerswere disembarked and housed in the Military Barracks for a month. Duringthe last three weeks several cases of scurvy occurred otherwise the healthwas good. A very respectable body of passengers who no doubt will be foundto be a valuable acquisition to the Colony. The Provincial Governmenthas taken steps to provide them with accommodation on shore until theycan make their own future arrangements. We know of no greater want thanan Immigration Barracks for the temporary reception of such large bodiesof desirable colonists……..’
