H Duncan M.D. Immigration
Agent
The Pestongee Bomanjee arrived from
303 souls were landed. Five births and ten deaths were the casualties
during the voyage.
Fever to a considerable extent prevailed during the voyage. It seems to
me that cleanliness had not been
sufficiently enforced; and I have little doubt that the prevalence, if
not the origin of the sickness, was caused
by that neglect. In all other respects the surgeon-superintendent used
every means to promote the comfort
and health of the people, so that there is little doubt that his want of
experience in the management of emigrants
was the cause of the laxity of discipline at first; which, during the
voyage, he found it difficult if not impossible
to rectify. The stoppage of the certificate for return passage money to
warning to him to act with more decision if he were again entrusted with
the charge of an emigrant ship; as his
Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor was pleased to approve this
recommendation, and to order that the
certificate should be withheld.
