Sub-Enclosure to Enclosure in No. 15. Summary of Voyage of Ship " City of Auckland," 249-J- Statute Adults. May 28th. —Embarked passengers at East India Docks, London. May 30th. —Ship inspected at Gravesend. May 31st.—Took final departure. Experienced light and variable winds, with fine weather to the tropics, which were entered on the 18th June. The weather experienced in the tropics was hot, but very little rain. July Ist. —Crossed the Line. Soon after leaving the tropics the weather became damp and cold, and for the last thirty days of the passage had wet and cold weather. The conduct of the passengers throughout the voyage was on the whole very good. The provisions issued were of a very superior description. I beg to note the very inferior description of the bedding supplied to this ship. Some of the blankets were so rotten, that before the ship had proceeded half the voyage they were perfectly useless. With this exception, all arrangements were most satisfactory. The only infectious disease that occurred during the voyage was typhoid fever, of which there were four cases. Three have perfectly recovered, and the fourth is convalescing. This man was seized on August 10th, and since that date there has been no sign of the disease extending. On the arrival of the ship in Auckland, there were seven cases requiring Hospital treatment, viz. : Pneumonia, two ; phthisis, two ; rheumatism, one ; colic, one; typhoid fever, one (convalescent). Four births, and no deaths during passage. J. Waugh, M.8., Surgeon- Superintendent.
