Others, who paid own fare

'Perilous Voyages to the New Land' by Michael Cannon, page 80 reports that 4 women and 1 man were still ill with typhoid fever when the vessel arrived, so it had to anchor some distance off shore. This gave some passengers time to complain of sailors 'mixing with female immigrants'.

James Hemphill aged 19, Andrew McKinlay, William Spur all gave reports. John McCrae had permission to visit his 2 unmarried sisters, reported that the sailors gave the girls extra food. Matters were dismissed, full bounty paid for 230 immigrants arrived.
