While we cannot command the winds, we may our evil tempers, and it has been an assistance to me in my responsible position, to see the good feeling which has existed among yourselves, and gladly do I accept your kind wishes for my future voyage, when I shall miss those who I trust may do well and prosper in their new homos. “ I have, &c., “ Thomas James, “ Master.” “ Ship Talbot, December, 1864. “ To Captain James, “Sir, —We cannot, now that we are so near Auck land, look forward to leave the Talbot without thanking you much for all your kindness and goodness to us. We feel that you have done all that circumstances allowed to make us comfortable and to enable us to bear the trials of so long a voyage. We wish you a safe voyage home, again, and hope you may, when you arrive, find Mrs James and your children well.’-’ (Signed by the Single Female Steerage Passengers.) “We, the undersigned, steerage passengers from London to Auckland, New Zealand, wish to express our heartfelt congratulations and thanks to Captain James, for all his kindness and attention during this long and tedious voyage. Wishing him every success in his homeward voyage, we subscribe ourselves.” (Signed by all the Steerage Passengers). “ We the undersigned Second Class Passengers by tfie ship Talbot, from London to Auckland, New Zealand, desire to express to Herbert Swayne, Esq., F.R,C.S., our sense of the advantages we have derived by being accompanied in our voyage by a medical officer of his mature years and judgment, and of his acknowledged repute in his profession. “ We have observed with much satisfaction his cordial co-operation with the Captain, his daily visits among the passengers, and his constant endeavor to promote order and cleanliness throughout the ship. “We further desire to express our congratulations, that, notwithstanding the large proportion of children, the unusual length of the voyage, and the trials incident thereto, —the measures which he has adopted, with the blessing of God, have conduced to spare us the infliction of an epidemic, or the sad scene of a funeral at sea.

“ In conclusion, he has our best wishes for his happiness, and that of Mrs. Swayne, and family, and we trust that prosperity may attend him in the land (f his adoption. “ We subscribe ourselves, this 20th day of December, 1864.” Signed by the Second Class Passengers. Ship Talbot, off Great Barrier Island, December 20, 1864. Mv Dear Sir, — Allow me through, you to return my most heartfelt thanks to my fellow cabin passengers in the Talbot, for their very handsome and flattering acknowledgments of my humble services as surgeonsuperintendent of that vessel during her protracted aud trying voyage from England to New Zealand. I feel that, had I not been seconded most cordially by the passengers generally, in my endeavor to preserve health in the ship, and on every occasion received the most hearty co-operation of our most esteemed commander, Captain James, to whom I, equally with yourselves, feel deeply in debt, for his never tiring care, watchfulness, and thorough seamanship, placed as he has been, almost without the assistance of chief officers, all efforts of mine would have been of little avail ; and we, I fear, should not have had to congratulate ourselves that, notwithstanding a certain amount of disease, which among two hundred persons confined in a narrow space for nearly half a year must be considered inevitable, not only has the hand of death not fallen upon any of our number, but we can also boast that our hospitals have been absolutely untenanted. Permit me once more to thank you all for your testimonial, and to reciprocate the kind wishes you have expressed iu it for the welfare of my wife and family. Believe me to be, [ Most faithfully yours, H. W, Swayne. T. W. Stretton, Esq, We, the undersigned Steerage Passenger, from London to Auckland, N.Z., desire to express to Dr. H. W. Swayne our sincere thanks ind congratulations for the manner in which he has endeavored to prevent sickness during this long and protracted voyage ; also for all his kindness towards us. Wishing him every success in the land of his adoption, also his family, We subscribe ourselves, [Signed by the Steerage Passengers.] “ December 21, 1864. “ Dr. Swuyne, ship Talbot, “Sir, —We return you our most sincere thanks for your kind attention to us during our long and tedious voyage. We are happy to say we are all quite satisfied with your attention to our medical requirements. “ Your obedient servant,” (Signed by the Single Female Steerage Passengers) “ Talbot, December 21, 1864. “ Mr. Huntley, Doctor’s Assistant, Sir, —All the single female steerage passengers desire to return their most heartfelt thanks for your unremitted kindness and attention to them during a long tedious voyage.
