Evening Post 24th January 1877

Arrival of the ship Himalaya, 1008 tons, Grant, from London. Voyage account.
The above fine ship, of Messrs. Shaw, Saville and Co.'s line, in command of Captain Grant, dropped anchor in our harbor (Wellington) abreast of Point Jerningham at 11 o'clock last night 23rd Jan., after a passage of 109 days from the port of London. She left on the 7th October last. Encountered a severe gale. The surgeon, Dr. De Lisle, deserves credit for his attention to the 60 passengers, the consequence being that not one single case of sickness is reported. Messrs Levin & Co. are her agents. She brings the following passengers for Wellington:-

Evening Post Wednesday 24th January 1877

Some disorderly conduct among the crew of the ship Himalaya led to three of them being brought ashore to-day, one as a patient, the other two as prisoners. When the Moa was leaving the ship's side, one of the Himalaya's hands named George Kelly endeavoured to escape, and it is stated that the chief officer endeavoured to to induce him to return to duty by the free use of a belaying pin. However it happened, the man was brought ashore severely wounded in the head. Subsequently a signal was made for the immediate presence of the police on board, and Inspector Atchison proceeded to her by the steamer Moa. A "colored" member of the crew raised an axe to assault the chief officer. The charges against them were entered in the log book, and were read over to them.
