ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP GANGES
The clipper ship GANGES dropped anchor in the stream, on the Queen street
Wharf, at 7 PM. last evening, after a good passage of 100 days from
Queenstown. The GANGES is a fine vessel of 1,211 tons, and was built in
1856 at Boston by the celebrated shipbuilder D McKay. She was here in
October 1863 on which occasion she brought 226 passengers. She is still in
command of Captain Thomas Funnell, a gentleman well known and respected
here; and on the last trip he was presented by the passengers with a purse
of money. The GANGES left Queenstown (Cobh) on the 4 November, and took her
final departure on the 5th. Sighted Cape de Verd Islands, and had steady
N.E. trades,
crossing the Equator on the 28th November, in longitude 24.30 W, after a
good run of 24 days. The S.E. trades proved very good, and the meridian of
the Cape was made on the 25th December, in 39S30, Fine weather was
experienced until reaching 120 E longitude, when several heavy gales were
encountered. The easting was run down between the parallels of 43’ and 45’
S with moderate weather. Tasmania was sighted on the 25th January, and the
Kings were made on the 5th February, since then light winds and calms have
prevailed.
On the 7th January, during a heavy gale, a fatal accident by drowning
happened to two of the crew, who fell from the mainyard into the sea. The names
of the unfortunate men were Antonia Dueakin, a native of Valparaiso, and
John Murphy, an Irishman, Every effort was made to save the poor fellows,
but without success.
The GANGES sighted no vessels connected with the colonies. She
brings a full cargo of general merchandise and 422 Government passengers.
She sailed with 474 but lost 54 children and 2 adults during the passage
from bronchitis and the whooping-cough. The cleanly condition in which she
entered the harbour reflects the greatest credit on Captain Funnell and the
officers under his command. The passengers have requested us to state that
they have been treated with the utmost courtesy and kindness by Captain
Funnell during the voyage. The following is a list of the births and
deaths:-
