AN EARLY SETTLERS' ASSOCIATION.

AN INTERESTING LIST

In connection with the reunion held by the Otago Early Settlers' Association to celebrate the jubilee of the arrival of the ships Larkins, Cornwall, Kelso, Pekin, and Mooltan, we have already published a list of the passengers and descendants who were present, and now correct the following mistakes: Misses Margaret Gibb and Jessie J. Shand are descendants of the late Alexander Todd (Taieri), not of Geo. Duncan; and Mrs Higgins should be Jessie Duff, not Jane. Mrs Lambert, Kensington, is sister, Mrs M. J. Smith, Caversham, is daughter, and Henry J. Duncan, Dunedin, is son of Henry Duncan, North-East Valley. AYe now publish a full list of the surviving passengers, and also 'of descendantSj and the secretary will be glad to bo notified of any errors or omissions, so as to have correct entries in the annals of the association : — ,

Cholera was prevalent in Greenock, from which port the Mooltan sailed on 12th September ,1849, and it broke out on board on irfi X , ,SePtember> and continued until the 15th October. It was brought on board in the bedding of a passenger. There were about 20 cases altogether, of which nino died (Dr Hockcn). On arrival at Port Chalmers on 26th December, Mi- L. Langlands, then boarding officer at Port Chalmers, had the yellow ficg hoisted and the ship isolated until Dr Manning, health officer, was communicated with. On consultation with Dr Purdie, and finding there had been no deaths for over two months, Dr Manning decided there was no occasion to place hex in quarantine, and the passengers were allowed to land at once.
