Montreal Gazette August 1, 1834
We have frequently heard the character of emigrant ships from Ireland
declared to be worse than that of those concerned in the slave trade
from Africa ; the account given by the passengers of the Thomas
Gelston from Londonderry, substantiates the opinion.
The passengers by this vessel state the number including children to
have been somewhere from 450 to
517. They were nine weeks on the passage and suffered much from want
of water and provisions. - Besides two tiers of berths on the sides,
the vessel was filled with a row of berths down the centre, between which
and the side berths there was only a passage of about three feet. The
passengers were thus obliged to eat in their berths, each of which contained
a great many persons say five and upwards. In one were a man, his wife,
his sister, and five children; in another were six full grown young women,
while that above them contained five men, and the next one eight men.
These statements are given on the concurrent testimony of several passengers.
Fortunately, a succession of fine weather enabled them to keep the hatches
open; in a storm they would have been smothered. Although these people
landed safely at Grosse Isle, a great deal of sickness has broke out
among them since. A part of them came up by the Canadian Eagle on
Wednesday [August 6?], from which about a dozen persons were taken to
the cholera
hospital soon after their arrival.
Daily Advertiser [Montreal]
TO THE EDITOR OF THE QUEBEC GAZETTE SIR,-
Being desirous of ascertaining
the practical effects of the plan proposed by the Sanitary Committee
of the Common Council, in their address to His Excellency the Governor
in Chief, of the 9th inst., I beg to suggest the expediency of hiring
a schooner, to be anchored at the mouth of the river St. Charles. That
on the first day when Fahrenheit's thermometer will range from about
90 to 96 degrees, the members of the Committee accompanied by their Secretary
to record occurrences, and attended by the Physician and Surgeon of the
Marine Hospital, to watch symptoms &c., do proceed on board the schooner,
there to remain in strict quarantine for at least forty eight hours.
That their diet, during this period, be sailor's biscuit, salt beef or
pork, oatmeal and potatoes, with the river water, and nothing else as
a drink. That they be placed in every respect, as nearly as possible,
in a situation similar to that of healthy passengers arriving in a clean
vessel, or from Grosse Isle. That, at the expiration of the eight-and-forty
hours, the schooner be boarded by competent medical practitioners, who
will require from each individual, but more especially from the professional
gentlemen on board, a particular statement of all circumstances which
may have occurred during the period of quarantine. If it appears that
all have been healthy, that no case of sickness, nor any premonitory
symptoms exist, it may then be time to take into consideration the proposed
plan of keeping a clean vessel, with a healthy crew and healthy passengers,
forty-eight hours at the mouth of the river St. Charles; excluded from
all communication with the shore, and exposed to the rays of a burning
sun, without the possibility of shelter, without water, other than that
of the river, which is always injurious to strangers; and subject also
to all inconveniences attendant on a crowded vessel in a hot climate.
But, until the proposers of this plan prove its efficacy, by actual and
repeated experiments on themselves, they must not feel surprised that
some who look to facts in preference to crude theory, should differ from
them in opinion, and look upon their suggestions as tending to originate
and propagate disease, instead of preventing its dissemination.

The temporary arrangement by which only four steamboats, belonging
to the different lines, were employed between Montreal and Quebec,
having expired, the Lady of the Lake left port on
Tuesday evening, and the Voyageur last night. We hope
that this resumption of their places on the line, which we hail as
pleasing proof of our improved health, will be continued till the whole
of the steamers are again on the route.
The Varennes Springs steamer, it will be seen by a notice in our paper,
has recommenced her two pleasure trips a week. |

Deaths:—
At Toronto, on the 24th ultimo, Mr. Robert Heron, printer, aged 24.
On his being taken to the hospital, an interesting young woman, to
whom he was about to be married, applied for permission to see him,
declaring she was his sister. She was admitted and kissed the dying
youth, showing great affection for him. Three hours afterwards she
was brought to the same hospital, far gone of cholera, and her pillow
was the pillow of the cold grave.
At Toronto on the 22nd ultimo, Robert William Prentice, Esq., brother
to Henry S. Prentice, Esq., agent to the Earl of Caledon, Ireland.
Mr. Prentice took his wife's death, which occurred the previous week,
so much to heart, that it probably hastened his own dissolution.
They both died of the prevailing epidemic, leaving four infant children,
four thousand miles from their nearest relative.
At Toronto, on the 26th ultimo, Mr. Sydney Smith, apothecary, &c.
He went about the city administering medicine for the cholera, and
before he died he took the remedies for his own case which he had
offered to others. He has left a wife and seven children in good
circumstances. |

Statement of property pertaining to the late William Ronaldson
and family, landed from the Lady of the Lake, and
inventory taken in the presence of the Reverend Doctor Harkness and
of A.C.
Buchanan, Esquire,
His Majesty's Agent for Emigrants. Found in the pocket of the late
William Ronaldson, seven and-a half sovereigns, seven dollars in
notes, one half dollar, one quarter dollar, one English shipping,
and six
pence in coppers. Found in a small bag in writing desk, one crown,
four half-crown, one shilling, English. In a tin box in desk, forty-five
sovereigns, ten half-sovereigns, folded up in paper, an order from
the Commercial Bank of Scotland at Leith, 27th May 1834, on Commercial
Bank, Kingston, for £330 sterling, in favour of Mr. William Ronaldson.
The above property with a writing desk, has been deposited in the
Montreal Bank by Mr. Buchanan and Dr. Harkness, and the other effects
are being
removed to the store of Mr. McLellan, the consignee of the vessel
in which the unfortunate sufferers arrived. — Quebec Mercury.
[the Ronaldson family sailed on the brig Conference,
which departed Leith on May 28th 1834 with 142 settlers, arrived
first at
Grosse Isle on July 29th and then at the port of Quebec on August
6th with only 110 settlers. The vessel was turned back to the Quarantine
Station and detained for nearly a month. There were 19 deaths at
Grosse Isle Hospital, mostly from cholera] |
Six Lives Lost by the partial Explosion of a Steamer's
Boiler |
The first fatal accident of this kind since the introduction of
steamers on the St. Lawrence, in 1811, — twenty-three years ago, — unfortunately
occurred yesterday, (Sunday [7th Sept ?]) about four o'clock A.M.,
on board the steamer Lady of the Lake, Captain Nickless.
The vessel was just leaving the Queen's Wharf, for Montreal, and had
cast off
all her moorings but one, when the explosion took place, and was heard
by some of the persons on deck to make a noise like the discharge of
a musket. The party exposed to the steam which escaped, occupied a
middle cabin, and like many of the passengers that trip, had slept
on board. They were, at the time of the accident, all in bed, with
the key of the door turned, by which the steam was unable to escape.
We give the details before the inquest held this day.
Two inquests were being held this morning on the bodies of the unfortunate
individuals who met their deaths on board the Lady of the Lake.
They were in easy circumstances and came in the brig Conference,
Captain Buchan, from Leith, sent back to the Quarantine Station, and
and detained for near a month.
There were eight individuals in the cabin at the time of the explosion,
six of whom have died. The two survivors, Jane Ronaldson, aged two
years and Robert Ronaldson, aged seven weeks, are still in a very
dangerous state. The first inquest was held on the bodies of William
Ronaldson,
aged twenty-nine years ; Ellen Ronaldson, aged twenty-nine years
; Ellen Ronaldson, aged six years ; Archibald Ronaldson, aged four
years
; Thomas Moffat, aged four months ; who all died in less than twenty-four
hours after the accident. The next inquest was upon the body of Grace
Purvis, aged twenty years, who expired this morning. .........edited.........
We understand that Mr. Ronaldson and his wife were from Leith, in
Scotland, or the neighbourhood of that town. A brother of Mr. R.
is supposed
to reside at Bytown, on the Ottawa ; another at Philadelphia ; and
he had himself lately returned from Van Dieman's Land. They had with
them all their family, and a respectable young servant woman, Grace
Purvis. We learn that there is very little expectation that the two
surviving children will recover. The bodies which were shockingly
scalded could not be recognised. They are all deposited ...... missing
text
...from the Sept. 13th issue, Montreal Gazette
There were some slight inaccuracies in our account of the of the
persons who were victims to the explosion of the Lady of
the Lake on Sunday. Grace Purvis was not
a servant to Mr. Ronaldson, but sister-in-law to Mr. Moffat, whose
wife died of cholera while the Conference was
detained at quarantine, leaving one child about six weeks old.
Grace Purvis had just gone
to the berth, for Mrs. Ronaldson to give suck to the child Thomas
Moffat, when the accident happened. The two surviving children
are under the care of Mr. McCombich, upholsterer, and we understand
little hope is held for their recovery.
[Margaret (Purvis) Moffat, aged twenty-nine years, died of cholera
at Grosse Isle, on August 31st 1834.] |

days after the accident. The infant boy and brother, aged seven weeks,
is also not expected to survive. |

The absence of the necessary regulations for the conveyance of emigrants
from Great Britain and Ireland to this Province, the crowded state
of the ships employed for this purpose, and frequently the insufficiency
of the provisions, the poverty arising from the improvidence of many
of the emigrants, joined to the inconveniences necessarily incident
to such a voyage, have caused the landing upon our shores of numbers
of sick and destitute emigrants, whereby the destructive malady of
cholera, with which we were visited in 1832, and again in the present
year, has been produced, or greatly aggravated. |

The new steamer, Commodore Barrie, arrived here Sunday morning
with passengers &c. from Kingston. She appears to be a first rate
boat and
is propelled by a double engine of thirty-two horse power each. We
understand she will remain on this line the remainder of the season
in conjunction with the St. George. — Toronto Recorder
The St. George arrived here from Oswego, Kingston &c. on Sunday
afternoon, bringing about 160 passengers, chiefly emigrants from
Scotland and Ireland. — Toronto Recorder |

Mr. Orrok, Secretary to the London Children's Friend Society
in the Canadas, has arrived in the Concord from London,
with twenty boys sent out to be apprenticed in the country. A number of
poor boys were formerly
sent out by the same Society, to the Cape of Good Hope, where about three-hundred
of them were apprenticed under the customary indentures of the Colony.
Mr. Orrok, we learn, proceeds to Montreal, to establish himself there should
his expectations be realized, for the purpose of forwarding the views of
the Society in London. Several of the boys have already been apprenticed
in Quebec. — Quebec Gazette, Wednesday |

Robert Ronaldson, aged eight weeks, the only surviving sufferer
from the bursting of the Lady of the Lakes's engine,
died yesterday morning. This is the eighth victim of the accident,
and formed the
whole of those in the room at the time the steam broke through. |

A report prevailed at Quebec on Thursday afternoon, that the Caroline,
Greig, from London which arrived at the quarantine station on Tuesday,
had lost twelve passengers on the passage, seven of whom were said
to have died of cholera, and five of other diseases ; seven cases of
sickness, it was also stated, had been landed on the Island. There
is every reason to suppose that the rumour greatly exaggerates the
evil, but that more probably it is essentially incorrect. There was
no communication with the station by telegraph on Thursday, but the
superintendent at the Cape (Mr. Watt) in a note to Mr. Roberts of the
Exchange, dated on Thursday afternoon, says: — "The passengers
in the Caroline were on Tuesday evening reported in health, excepting
one case of protracted diarrhoea. The deaths were said to be from indigestion."
Mr. Roberts adds: — "You will observe that Mr. Watt does not
give the number of deaths, but it appears that they were not from cholera." |
|
It is always pleasing to meet with acknowledgements of the kindness
of Captains of vessels to their passengers. Among the latest of these
complimentary letters that we have observed, are those addressed to
Captain Gorman, of the Breeze, and Captain Elliot,
of the Molson. The first of these, couched in the
warmest language, expresses the heartfelt gratitude of the passengers
to Captain Gorman, for his kindness on the passage from Limerick, and
it is a gratifying proof of this gentleman's well earned popularity.
The address to captain Elliot is signed by the Rev. William Alexander
and about fifty others, for themselves, wives and families, and bears
testimony to the attention they received during their voyage from Scotland
to Canada, nothing that could contribute to their comfort being ever
withheld, and no wish expressed but it was gratified, in in his power.
But a still more substantial mark of regard was presented by the cabin
passengers of the ship Robertson, (twenty-seven in number,) on her
late voyage from Greenock, to her commander, Captain Neill. A splendid
silver cup, as a testimony of the high opinion they entertain of him,
both as a sailor and a gentleman, was presented on Thursday last Mr.
Law, with some appropriate remarks, to which Captain Neill very feelingly
replied. The inscription on the cup is as follow : — "Presented
to Captain John Neill, ship Robertson, by the cabin passengers, on
a voyage from Greenock to Montreal, as a mark of their esteem for his
character, and gratitude for his kind attention. — August, 1834 |

16th instant, of whom between fifty and sixty only, were emigrants — all
from the South of Scotland. No English or Irish emigrants. The steamer
Constitution arrived here on Tuesday evening with twenty-eight passengers. — Toronto

The steamer Lady of the Lake arrived yesterday from Montreal. She
has a new Captain (Mr. J.H. Turner) as well as a new engineer, with
certificates that the engines and boilers are fit for three years service
; and under these circumstances, it is unfair that any prejudice, arising
from mere accident, should operate against the boat. She starts tomorrow
morning. — Quebec Gazette, Monday |
