| MATILDA WATTENBACH | ||||||
| The MATILDA WATTENBACH left Gravesend on 2nd June, 1862 and arrived in Auckland, | ||||||
| on 8th September, 1862, under the command of Captain W Goudie. | ||||||
| Transcribed from the "Daily Southern Cross", for Tuesday, 30 September 1862 | ||||||
| Yesterday morning the good ship 'Matilda Wattenbach' 954 tons, Captain W. Goudie, with 352 | ||||||
| passengers of the nonconformist body, and a general cargo, came to an anchor in the harbour after a | ||||||
| quick passage of 98 days from Gravesend. Left Gravesend on the 2nd June, made the Lizards on the 9th, | ||||||
| and Maena on the 17th. On the 27th of the same month, in latitude 8° north, 21° west longitude, spoke | ||||||
| the Prussian corvette 'Altona' and put letters on board for home. Passed Cape de Verde and Canary | ||||||
| Islands without sighting any of them, and crossed the equator on 4th July, in 22° west longitude. Light | ||||||
| southerly and variable winds had been experinced up to this date. On the 17th July, struck a leading wind | ||||||
| off Rio, and on the 27th, made the parallel of Cape of Good Hope, where she experienced strong heavy | ||||||
| gales of westerly wind, and lost her main and mizen topmast. Ran down the easting between the parallels | ||||||
| of 45° and 49°, and on the 28th August passed Van Diemen's Land. Sighted the Three Kings on the 2nd | ||||||
| inst, and anchored on Sunday off Rangitoto. Yesterday morning rounded the North Head, and came to an | ||||||
| anchor in the harbour at 9 o'clock. Two births occurred during the passage, and five deaths: three | ||||||
| children died of convulsions and teething, a young woman named May Ann Becroft, aged 19 years, of | ||||||
| phthisis, after three months' illness, and a fatal accident occurred on June 23rd, to an able bodied seaman | ||||||
| named William Robertson, who fell from the fore topmast head, and received such serious injuries as | ||||||
| caused his death six hours afterwards. Otherwise the general condition of the passengers' health has | ||||||
| been very satisfactory. The 'Matilda Wattenbach' is in a cleanly condition, and the passengers speak | ||||||
| highly of the treatment they received from the captain and officers durimg the voyage. | ||||||
