ship Lord Raglan
Arrived from Plymouth on the 23rd October, having been 99 days at sea. Six births and four deaths occurred at sea, and 372 souls were landed in the Colony. It was very evident at the first visit to the ship, that the surgeon-superintendent was totally unfitted for such a charge, and could not maintain regularity or discipline. No complaints, however, were made either against the surgeon or the officers of the ship, with the exception of a charge made by the surgeon-superintendent against the chief officer for familiarity with one of the single girls. However, on a perusal of the surgeon’s journal, charges of such a serious character were there entered against the master and officers of the ship, that it was considered necessary that these circumstances should be carefully investigated. The Immigration Board sat three successive days investigating the matter, when it appeared to them, with the exception of a complaint against the first officer, that all the other grave charges in the surgeon’s journal were utterly devoid of fact and without foundation. The charge against the first mate, otherwise a very efficient officer, was considered to be proved in so far as he had paid marked attention to one of the single girls. It was clearly shown that these attentions were with the entire concurrence of the father and mother of the young woman, were honorable in their motive, and devoid of the slightest approach to indecorum. The board were of opinion that such intimacies of the officers with the single women should not be allowed to exist on board ship ; as they tended to show a bad example to the crew, and were otherwise calculated to undermine the discipline, and interfere with the authority of the surgeon-superintendent. The Board gave it as their opinion, that had it not been for the energy of the master and officers of the Lord Raglan, that the surgeon could not have maintained anything like discipline on board ; that he was quite unfit to manage an emigrant ship, and that he ought not to be again entrusted with such a charge. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor was pleased so far to approve the Report of the Immigration Board, (a copy of which His Excellency directed to be sent to the Commissioners), and at the same time to represent to them the advisableness of making known to all officers of emigrant ships, that a penalty will be attached to them if they pay particular attention to any female emigrant on board, even though such attentions may be perfectly innocent.
