"This fine (3 masted) barque of 816 tons, Scott Commander from London
and Plymouth (left 1st June 1847) arrived on Saturday last (4th September) after a passage
of 95 days, with F. J. Beck Esq and lady, Mrs Scott and Dr. Hill, in cabins, and 302
emigrants (of all ages) in the steerage. The adult male emigrants include 30 Cornish
miners, 3 shoemakers, 3 tailors, 3 blacksmiths, 2 masons, 4 carpenters and 1 tin miner,
the rest are cheifly agricultural labourers. We presume the reason why no Devonshire
miners have ventured to cast their lot amongst us is that when the "ABOUKIR"
sailed, day-work men in the mines of Devonshire were getting £3-£4 per week, and there
did not appear sufficient inducement in the temptations to emigration."
"Arrived.....Joseph C. Sando, wife and one child, Fanny Sando,
Elizabeth Sando, Anthony Sando, John Sando, Sally Sando, Joseph Sando......" |
