Return to SA Passenger Lists,1847-1886

ship General Hewett, 1,055 tons, Captain C.H. Loutitt, from London 12th April & Plymouth 11th May 1858, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 11th September 1858

. . . . — 6th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1858 ; —8— births and —5— deaths on the passage ; Dr. James O'Donnell, surgeon-superintendent.
In the Reports by the Emigration Officer, Dr. Duncan, there was often mention made in regard to Nominee's or General Emigrants ; the list below made a special effort to separate those into two lists, so, I have combined these but made notations alongside the family name, thus, General Emigrants = GE and Nominee = N. — Robert
 
ship General Hewett South Australian Government Gazette 14th October 1858
1,055 tons, commanded by Mr. C.H. Loutted, sailed from Plymouth on the 11th day of May and arrived on the 11th of September, having been 124 days at sea. She landed in the Colony 368 souls ; eight births and four deaths having been the casualties at sea.
The ship was lofty and spacious, and arrived in good order, the married people, with a few exceptions, seemed to be an eligible class of persons; the single men, however, were, for the most part, ordinary laborers, and as such, increased an already super-abundant supply of such labor in the Colony.
This is the third voyage in which Mr. J. O’Donnell, the Surgeon-superintendent has brought emigrants to South Australia, and on each occasion has acquitted himself in the most satisfactory manner ; he states that the Master and officers of the ship gave him every assistance in the discharge of his duty. The general health of the people on the ships' arrival was good ; measles had appeared soon after leaving England, of which there were about 36 cases in all ; only one death is recorded as the consequence of this disease. The conduct of the people was satisfactory, that of the single women was reported to be most unexceptionable.
