In 1854 the Thetis arrived Thurs 31 August, 573 tons, R. Breckon, Master, from Plymouth May 21st 1854 with 226 Government emigrants.. — 19th ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1854; Robert Johnston, surgeon-superintendent.
Now rigged as a Ship, having been one hundred and four days on the voyage; she brought 227 emigrants; seven births and seven deaths occurred at sea.
This vessel, in its present state, is not well adapted for an emigrant ship; the rigging is old and bad, and there was great leakage throughout the ship on both sides, wetting the bedding and causing great discomfort to the emigrants. I think it wonderful that sickness did not prevail to a much greater extent on board this ship. The people seemed a very eligible class, finding ready employment — and the Surgeon-Superintendent performed his duties very satisfactorily. At the muster, a strange but serious complaint was lodged by four single girls against the Surgeon-Superintendent. On investigating this charge, I found that these four girls were the worst behaved females on board, and it seemed that they had agreed among themselves to make a charge against the Doctor, by way of making the first attack ; but there was abundant evidence that their accusation was utterly untrue.
