ship Marion
Arrived from Liverpool on the 10th December with 384 immigrants, having been 106 days at sea ; fifteen deaths and eight births occurred during the voyage. All the deaths were caused by a low kind of continued fever, which prevailed during the whole voyage, and attacked every one on board. It is difficult to account for the prevalence of fever, as the ship was very clean, and the surgeon-superintendent seems to have performed his duty with zeal and efficiency. All the deaths which occurred, were of infants or children not above twelve months old. The emigrants by this ship were of a class well-suited for the Colony, and seem to have been carefully selected.
