From the "Otago Witness"
"THE HENR I ETTA" T
CONC he barque "Henrietta" arrived at the Heads on Mo nday morning, a f ter a p
CONC assage of 115 days from Glasgow. The rather prot racted voyage i s r efer
CONC able to bad weather since passing the meridian of t he Cape, pre v ious t
CONC o which not a reef had been taken in the topsails. S he had on b o ard, a
CONC t starting 238 souls, equal to 194½ statute adults, a n umber w h ich ha
CONC s been somewhat reduced by the casualties noted below. We r egre t t o le
CONC arn that sickness has prevailed, and is still prevalent amon g t h e pass
CONC engers to a considerable extent, though there have been no in fe c tions o
CONC r contagious diseases. Various reports are in circulation a s t o t he ca
CONC use of illness, it having been alleged by some that the accomm o d ation o
CONC n board was insufficient, by others that the passengers have n o t r ecei
CONC ved the necessary medical attention: and certainly the disgrace f u l fac
CONC t that the surgeon was locked up on a charge of drunkenness a fe w h o ur
CONC s after landing, does not say much for his fitness for his onero u s d ut
CONC ies. The captain states, however, that the passengers were far f r om g e
CONC nerally healthy when they embarked, and their appearance on boar d ing w a
CONC s certainly not such as could have been wished, or equal to tha t o f pr e
CONC vious arrivals. One female died on board the "Oberon" on the pas s age u p t
CONC he harbour. We presume that some inquiry will take place, and th e ref or
CONC e refrain from further comment.
