IMMIGRANTS PER BROTHER's PRIDE
which sailed on 23rd July last
From the "Lyttelton Times," December 8, 1863
Total souls: 371 Deaths : 44
Including 69 from England, 48 from Scotland, 3 from Ireland, being a total
of 120 males of the age 15 years and upwards. Columns represent: surname,
first name, age, spouse present, # children, occupation, origin and remarks
Compare : ISTG Brothers Pride
The
passenger list was printed in The Lyttelton Times on the 8th than again on
the 10th so this accounts for some of the variation in the surname spelling.
e.g. Bewton / Banton, Beel / Bell, M'Lennan / McTennan. The total cost of
passage money to the Provincial Government for the majority each single man
and woman was £13 and 6 shillings.

The Lyttelton Times Thursday, December 10, 1863
On Tuesday last we briefly noticed the arrival of this vessel at the heads,
and although we possessed the information since proved to be too true
respecting the amount of sickness aboard, for the sake of friends on shore
we refrained from publishing the melancholy intelligence that 44 deaths
occurred during the passage. In our columns will be found a list of the
sufferers, as well as a number of births. We hear that Captain Sproul, on
boarding the vessel, was refused the charge of the ship, and the offer of
the pilot to place his boat and crew at the service of the ship to obtain
fresh supplies for the sick children was also refused. On Tuesday evening
the anchor was raised, and sail made before half a gale wind blowing from
the S.W., and at daylight next morning the vessel was out of sight. She
returned yesterday morning when off Camp Bay, and was immediately ordered to
hoist the Yellow Jack. This peremptory order of the Health Commissioner not
appearing to suit this cavalier officer, in two or three hours the anchor
was again up, and with the assistance of the light breeze from the N.E., the
Brother's Pride was brought up just astern of the Lancashire Witch. We
presume the authorities will not permit their orders to be set at defiance,
and the law treated with contempt.
