N.Z.Immigration Policies
In 1869 Dr. I Featherston and Francis Dillon Bell were commissioned by the New
Zealand Government to visit Norway, Sweden and Denmark to negotiate for suitable
immigrants from those countries. On 12 September, 1870, the Bill for Immigration
and Public Works became law. For Hawke's Bay, this meant that General Government
would select and arrange for the transport of immigrants to the provinces as
requested by the Superintendent for that province. The General Government also
undertook the construction of main roads and railways through the colony, and
labour for these public works projects was to be from selected immigrants.
J.D.Ormond was Superintendent for Hawke's Bay at this time, and he had suggested
the Seventy Mile Bush as an area suitable for settlement. He recommended that
General Government try to establish two or three Scandinavian settlements on
a total of 1500 acres. The idea that Scandinavian settlers would be most suitable
arose from the success of the earlier Scandinavian settlement in the Manawatu.
On 15 September, 1872, the first two immigrant ships arrived in Napier. The
"Hovding" had 376 immigrants - all Norwegian or Swedes, and the
"Ballarat" had 206 immigrants which included 66 Danes. Julius Vogel
had announced the General Government's intention to take over the conduct of
the immigration and Public Works from the provinces, and in 1871, Ormond became
the Minister of Public Works for the North Island. Vogel became Premier in April,
1873.
The demand for labour in Hawkes Bay was insatiable, and in September 1874 Ormond
requested a further two ships, each with about 300 immigrants. Dr I.A. Featherstone
had become the Government's Agent-General in London by this time, and he was
instructed to send a ship in October. Between 1872 and 1876 a total of 5985 immigrants
had been brought to Hawkes Bay under the Immigration and Public Works Act. Of
this number, 476 had come from Denmark.
"Fritz Reuter".
When the new Zealand Agent-General Dr. Featherstone left Hamburg again in May
1874, Robert M. Sloman had committed himself to shipping from Hamburg to New
Zealand, in the space of four years, more than 7,000 statute adults, which meant
some 8,500 people, if full account were taken of the children. At that time,
the company owned ten sailing vessels suitable for the carriage of migrants on
long passages, with an average capacity of 300 to 400 people. In the New Zealand
trade it was necessary to allow more than a year for the round voyage from Hamburg
back to Hamburg, since ships could not count on finding a return cargo in New
Zealand, and had to look elsewhere to load for the homeward passage. With an
average round voyage of sixteen months, and an average for each voyage of 350
people, the Sloman sailing fleet could theoretically move about 10,500 people
in four years. But in those days shipping, and especially the operation of sailing
ships, was an uncertain business, with high risks. The shipowner had to allow
for damage or loss of ships, or even for war conditions, which might delay the
passages of his ships. Therefore R.M.Sloman considered it prudent to enlarge
his sailing fleet , in order to meet his obligations under the New Zealand contract.The
"Fritz Reuter" was built in Glasgow in 1857 by Messrs Smith and Rodger
for the Bibby Bros. Line. She was built as a steel sailing vessel, with a steam
engine, and for 15 years, known as the"Crimean", she worked under the
British flag. Sloman purchased the"Crimean" in July 1874 for £10,600,
and renamed her the "Fritz Reuter" after a Meclenberg poet and freedom
fighter. The "Fritz Reuter" had been built of iron, with a limited
amount of canvas, and arrived in Hamburg on 23 August under the command of Captain
Kolln. The shipyard had to remove the boilers, and transform the steamer
into a full-rigged sailing ship, as she was to be used in the Southern Hemisphere
where there were no coaling stations.
The ship was equipped for the conveyance of a large number of people over a long
distance, and on 12 November 1874, the yard furnished a certificate to the Registrar
of Ships that it had converted the steam ship "Fritz Reuter" into
a full-rigged sailing ship for the account of Messrs Robert M. Sloman & Co.
In the Register, the ship was entered under the old description of "frigate
built", and the certificate of measurement gave the details as :
Under deck tonnage 1382 register tons.
Length 262feet.
Poop 55 " "
Breadth 35' 6"
Deck-house 40 " "
Depth of Hold 22' 4"
Fore-castle 37 " "
GROSS TONNAGE 1515 " "
Complement....28 men.
On completion of the conversion, things moved quickly, for New Zealand was keenly
awaiting its immigrants, and it was preferable for them to arrive in the early
summer, i.e. November or December. The ship was under contract to the firm
of Louis Knorr, owned by C.E.Mathei, who had been responsible for locating the
immigrants with his agent in Denmark. The New Zealand agent in Germany, William
Kirchner, inspected the "Fritz Reuter" shortly before she sailed, and
sent his report to the Agent-General in London.He certified that the provisions
and water had been inspected by the Emigration Commissioners of the port of
Hamburg under the "superintendence of the Commissioner for the German Empire,
Captain T. Weikmann, R.N., and were found according to the contract and of first
rate quality. Mr C.A.Mathie had furnished a distilling apparatus (Water Condensers)
and 900 hogsheads of pure water besides the necessary supply for the crew".Kirchner
further stated that there was sufficient space in the compartments alloted for
483 Statute Adults, and that "493 adults were supplied on board on
account of Government".The contract entered into for the transport of the
immigrants specified , not only the space to be allowed for each statute adult,
but also specific details of the provisions to be supplied e.g."For each
statute adult, on every Sunday during the voyage, half a pound of preserved beef,and
half a pound of flour for pudding, with four ounces of raisins. On Monday, half
a pound of salt pork and half a pound of peas or sauerkraut: on every Tuesday
half a pound of salt beef and half a pound of barley or lentils or of haricot
beans; on every Wednesday, herring or half a pound of salt fish and half a pound
of lentils or of haricot beans: on every Thursday, half a pound of preserved
mutton and half a pound of flour for pudding, with four ounces of prunes; on
every Friday, half a pound of salt pork and half a pound of peas for soup; on
every Saturday, half a pound of salted beef, and half a pound of rice with treacle.Every
day three quarts of water,besides such as may be required for cooking purposes,
besides weekly for every passenger three pounds of potatoes, five pounds of white
biscuits, five-twelfths of a pound of butter, two ounces of coffee, one ounce
of tea, six ounces of sugar, four ounces of treacle, six ounces of lime juice,
and the necessary vinegar, salt and pepper."The said Louis Knorr and Co.
will also at like cost provide every ship with the medical comforts of the descriptions
and in the quantities following, that is to say:- For every hundred statute adults
carried by such ship, twenty-eight pounds of Carolina rice, twenty pounds of
oatmeal, ten pounds of arrowroot, thirty pounds of barley, twenty-five pounds
of sago, two pounds of Leibig's meat extract or two hundred and fifty portions
preserved meat soup, forty pounds of preserved meat, twenty pounds of preserved
beef and mutton in tins, two hundred pounds of loaf sugar (Melis), thirty-six
bottles of claret, eighteen bottles of sherry, twelve bottles of gin, twenty
dozen bottles of Bavarian beer, five gallons of vinegar, ten pounds of preserved
milk, one hundred pounds of soap, three pounds of hops, one hundred pounds of
quicklime. The said Louis Knorr and Co. will also at the like cost supply each
ship with one chest containing the medicines and drugs usually found in a ship's
medicine chest, the surgeon appointed to every ship providing his own instruments.
No wonder the immigrants expressed themselves satisified with the quality of
their accomodations and provisions during the journey.
The Voyage.
On 25 November 1874 the passengers were embarked. The passenger list, handed
over to the appropriate Hamburg authority by the agent C.A. Mathei, contained
517 names, including children and infants. Agent Kirchner reckoned this as
439 Statute Adults for claims. On the passenger list Mr Mathei had duly declared,
"on sworn oath", that neither on the list nor on board were there -
to the best of his belief - any person whose transport was forbidden. This applied
principally to criminals and to the sick. The list also revealed that about
half the passengers came from Denmark, and listed as passengers No. 65, Neils
Madsen, Bodil Madsen, and children Anna, Anna H., Johanne, Elise and Jens. On
26 November, the "Fritz Reuter" was towed down the Elbe by the tug
"Enak". There was at the time thin ice drifting on the Elbe, but it
was not yet interfering with shipping. The ship was still under the command
of Captain Peter Kolln. The ship's doctor, or "Surgeon Superintendent",
was Dr. C. Uterhart. Dr Uterhart wrote in perfect English, and was at ease dealing
with New Zealand authorities, as he had made a previous voyage to New Zealand
in the full-rigger "Reichtag" earlier in the year. On 28 November
the ship passed Cuxhaven, and was towed to sea in a moderate SE wind. The next
day, Heliogoland reported a heavy SE gale with snow flurries, and on 30 November
a SW gale raged in the German Bight.
The next news of the "Fritz Reuter" was brought by the London steamer
"Dragon" which arrived in the Elbe on 1 December. The steam-ship's
captain reported seeing the"Fritz Reuter" off Borkum, steering east,
with damage to the fore-mast. With the assistance of the tug "Ditmarsia",
"Fritz Reuter" came into the Cuxhaven yards 24 hours later. She had
lost her fore topgallant mast and yard, as well as the fore topsail yard, and
had shipped a considerable amount of water. Moreover, Captain Kolln had been
injured when it had been necessary to cut away the mast during a heavy squall.
The ship was towed into harbour for repair. Most of the emigrants were from inland
- farm labourers and the like - and they were completely bewildered by the ferocity
of the storm, the water on and below decks, and the damage to the ship. During
the time that it took to repair the "Fritz Reuter" the passengers were
accomodated in dancing saloons in the town. One family contracted scarlet fever,
and had to be left behind, while a number of others, having experienced the severity
of the storm, decided to return home, although it is thought that some of these
families later did follow. When the ship resumed its journey it had about 100
fewer people than had originally started out, which would have made accomodation
a little more comfortable. Six young men from a reformatory in Hamburg were
given the option of returning to the reformatory, or embarking on the ship for
New Zealand. They, of course, decided to do this, and the Surgeon -Superintendent,
Dr. C.Uterhart, in his report, commented on the fact that several of them were
whipped during the voyage for stealing. As Dr. Uterhart further reported "The
Matron was of no use for the maintaining of discipline among the girls which
had to be enforced by the Constables for the single girls compartment".
These constables were paid £2.0.0d. for the voyage.A number of passengers
were allocated tasks, and Bodil Madsen was employed as the nurse at a salary
of £5.0.0d. for the voyage. In place of the injured Captain Kolln, a new
captain had to be appointed, and Captain C.J.N. Peyn took command. On completion
of repairs, "Fritz Reuter" again to sea on 16 December, and this
time had better luck with the weather. The next day she passed Heligoland with
the wind fresh from the NE. By 19 December she was already sailing through the
downs and the Straits of Dover. There were now only 440 passengers on board,
and by 24 December she was well out into the Atlantic, being driven hard by Captain
Peyn in an effort to make up for time lost in Cuxhaven . Luck was with him, for
the winds encountered on the various stages of the journey were most favourable
for the full-rigger. She was only 20 days from Dover to the Equator, and another
four weeks to the South of Cape of Good Hope. Much better weather was experienced
during this second attempt. The ship crossed the Equator on 7 January 1875, and
reached the Cape of Good Hope on 5 February. They must have kept well South
at this stage of the journey, as it was recorded that some alarm was felt as
on 7th February large icebergs were sighted in the Southern ocean. Peyn kept
in southerly latitudes, so that he passed Stewart Island by 3 March. The ship
had made an outstanding run of only 77 days from Cuxhaven to Stewart Island,
a run of 6,000 nautical miles in 24 days. ''A few days after starting out, scarlet
and typhoid fever had broken out, and the Surgeon Superintendent's report lists
12 cases of scarlet fever, 25 cases of typhoid fever, and 13 cases of pneumonia.
13 deaths were listed, 3 adults from typhoid fever, 3 children of scarlet fever,
and 7 children of pneumonia, bronchitis and diarrhea. 5 children were born
during the voyage. Patients suffering from fever were bathed up to 5 times daily,
and it was necessary to appoint an assistant nurse, and an assistant male nurse.
Bodil Madsen was given further assistance as a nurse, and the assistant people
were paid the princely sum of £2.0.0d.
Captain Peyn did not like the idea of sailing through Cook Strait, and so the
Wship took another 14 days to reach the port of Napier by sailing up the East
Coast of the South Island. On the evening of 16 March she was sighted in the
bay, but wind and weather forced Peyn to stand out to sea again. The Hawkes Bay
Herald (18 March 1875) reported that heavy westerly weather obliged the ship
to put to sea gain, and it returned the following day to an anchorage. Captain
Peyn was then able to bring the ship to anchor off Napier, after a 91 day passage
- a very successful passage. IWhen the appropriate authorities came on board
and heard about the dead, and the remaining sick, they immediately put the ship
under quarantine. The next morning they returned with the Medical Officer, saw
the passengers, and decided that the four in hospital were now convalescent.
The quarantine was lifted the same day, and the preparations for landing the
passengers went ahead. The passengers were taken ashore by lighters, and walked
to the Barracks on the hill where Napier's Hospital now stands. For accomodation
for the immigrants between the time of arrival and being forwarded to destinations,
the Gore-Browne Military Barracks, first erected for the 65th Regiment in 1858,
were taken over and renovated. These barracks consisted of 12 rooms, each 24
x 36 feet, and designed to accomodate 250 soldiers, 3 smaller rooms for 8 people,
3 kitchens and a large wash-house. The kitchens were capable of feeding 300
at a time. Several of the large rooms were partitioned into 6 compartments for
married couples by means of unbleached calico partitions 4' 6" high, leaving
a four foot corridor and a space around the fireplace. Also, 18 washtubs and
six forms were put in the wash-house. The Madsen family stayed in these
barracks until 30 March, 1875, and then set out for Norsewood. The local Napier
newspaper, the "Hawke's Bay Herald", carried the first reports of the
arrival of "Fritz Reuter" on 19 March. After the passengers had been
dis-embarked, the paper published a report about the condition of the newly arrived
immigrants:-
"The appearance of the "Fritz Reuter's" passengers is very much
in their favour. They are as strong, healthy and good-looking a lot of people
as we have seen for some time, and, unless we are greatly mistaken, they are
the right sort to succeed here, and to benefit the colony as themselves".
The passengers had expressed themselves well satisified with their treatment
on the ship - the food had been adequate and varied, and their treatment from
the crew had been very good. But, imagine three or four months in a steel ship
with insufficient ventilation. The sleeping quarters were likened to coffins
placed one on top of the other with an open end into which the sleeper wriggled
feet first, then slept with his head in the open space.
"Fritz Reuter"only made one further trip to New Zealand carrying immigrants
in 1876, landing them at Wellington. She spent the next 20 years conveying saltpetre
from Chile to Europe until she was lost on a voyage from Mobile (U.S.A.) to Greenock
(Scotland), shortly after she had been sold to Mandal, a Norwegian firm. In 1892,
she was involved in the rescue of the crew of a sinking four-mast British barque,
the "Wamphray"
