Details are on Page 2, The Port Phillip Herald for Fri 9 Apr 1841, using the Paper of Record site. The Byker also brought the chief officer of the Australia, which sailed from Leith for Port Phillip on 2 October, with five cabin and 15 steerage passengers and after having called at Rio, caught fire about 8pm on the 29th Dec, 600 miles west of the Cape of Good Hope. In a short time the entire vessel was enveloped in one sheet of flame, which prevented the preservation of ant part of her cargo or of the property of the passengers. With the utmost difficulty the long and jolly boats were launched, and as a strong gale was springing up, only a very small quantity of provisions and water could be secured. The crew and passengers put to sea about 11pm the same night. A course was set for the coast of Africa where a landing was effected 200 miles north of the Cape of Good Hope, after being exposed to eight days and nine nights with a biscuit and about half a wine glass of water to each division of four, 3 times a day. We are sorry to sat that 2 passengers Messrs John Chisholm and Pate died with exhaustion before making land. They continued southward for about 20 miles and came uon a Dutch settlement where they obtained the assistance needed, so they arrived at the Cape in safety, in waggons and carts, after an overland journey of 11 days. The Captain and some of the passengers returned to England, and the remainder have arrived in Port Phillip, by the Byker.

In "Old Melbourne Memories", Rolf Bolderwood mentioned that Hatsell Garrard accompanied Adolphus Goldsmith from England, and it was Hatsell who had chosen the celebrated racehorse 'Cornborough' for him. This ties in with the belief that Hatsell Garrard was on the "Caroline".
