The ages of these survivors range from 72 to 89 years. Mrs PERRY another passenger
who subsequently returned to England was known to be alive in Sommerset some
months ago. The late Mrs HASLAM who died in Auckland last month was also a
passenger by the ‘Ann’ and has been in New Zealand 70 years and 11 months.
She was the sister of Mr J. FOX of Ohaupo.

  It is not generally known that the Bridge over the salt water creek at Penrose
Otahuhu Road, known as 'Ann's Bridge' was built by the male passengers of the
                                            'Ann', hence its name.

especially afflicting the children. There were 46 deaths, mainly of children.")
                

The Eagle Speed. Arrival in Auckland

The fine ship Eagle Speed made her anchorage in the harbor yesterday morning 
16th October  1864, after a protracted voyage of 125 days from London. She left 
Gravesend on the 12th June,  and after a succession of adverse winds down the 
channel, took her final departure from near Mounte's Bay Cornwell on the 22nd 
June. Light Variable winds were experienced until crossing  the Equator, on 
the 1st August. During the 19 days the ship was detained by these winds, between 
Cape de Verde Islands and the equator, it was discovered that the main piece 
of the rudder was sprung, and that the tiller made nearly double the angle with 
the ships keel of that of the tall piece. 

This unfortunate circumstance considerably impeded the progress of the ship
 during the remainder of the voyage, as it was found necessary, in order to steer 
the ship at all, to carry much less sail than she otherwise would have done.  
From the equator to the Cape of Good Hope the usual trade winds and  southerly 
weather was experienced. The Island of Tristan D'Aounha was  made on the 25th 
August, and the Meridian of the Cape on the 1st  September. From this point to 
the S.W  cape of Tasmania the ship had, for  most part, steady breeze and fair weather. 
It was however found  impossible to bring out the sailing capabilities of this fine 
vessel, in  consequence of the damage done to the rudder, even under an ordinary  
pressure of sail no canvas could be kept on the mizzen mast.  Immedediately upon
 the discovery of the disabled condition of the rudder,  the necessary precautions 
were at once taken, and a spare tiller was  forged on board.

The New Zealand coast was sighted on the 13th October, and the North Cape 
rounded the following day, Cape Brett being passed on Saturday. Moderate winds 
from the N.R have prevailed on the coast. The above report will account for the
 protracted and tedious passage of this vessel. Before leaving Auckland a new 
rudder will be shipped, and we have no doubt the fine qualities of this clipper ship 
will be brought out on her return trip.

The Eagle Speed  is in command of Captain BRINSDEN, who it will be remembered,
 came last year in command of the "William Miles". Captain BRINSDEN, has on
 this occasion , won the esteem of the passengers, who speak of him in the highest 
terms, and the neat and cleanly appearance of the ship upon entering the harbor 
is commendable.

The total number of passengers aboard is 101, a large number of whom are the 
Church of  England  Settlement, and have received free passage.

Dr. Fredrick John ROBINSON, F.B.C.S. England, is the medical officer and 
Superintendent in charge. There have been no deaths and only one birth during 
the voyage.

The Eagle Speed is one of the largest vessels that have entered our harbor, her 
Register being 1237 tons. She has on board over 1500 tons of merchandise. Her 
handsome saloon is particularly worthy of notice. It is fitted up with the latest 
improvements and has every possible convenience or the comfort of passengers.

Printed in the "Herald" Dated 15th May 1865

                         The Ship Empress from London

 The splendid American Clipper Ship Empress, in command of Captain Ellis,
arrived in Harbour on Sunday night. In yesterdays issue we briefly announced
her arrival, but owing to the late hour when she dropped anchor we were
unable to give full report.

The following are the particulars of the voyage as kindly furnished us by
Captain Ellis;

 "The Empress quitted Gravesend on the 3rd February, landed the pilot on the
5th and took her final departure from the Lizard on the 8th February. She
crossed the Equator on the 3rd March, in 23* West, and was becalmed twelve
days in from 15* to 20* South. On the 2nd April passed the Meridian of the
Cape in 46* 28 S. and Desolation Island on the 11th of the same month, off
which the vessel encountered strong gales and heavy confused seas, which
caused her to roll and labour heavily for some days. When in longitude 163*
the vessel experienced heavy Northerly gales, and was compelled to take the
Southern route. The Snares were made on the 1st May only 81 days from home.

Experienced variables winds off the coast and was becalmed two days off the
East Cape, after which she encountered a heavy North-Westerly gale, and
arrived in Auckland at 11 pm on Sunday night, having taken pilot on board at
Rangitoto at 10.30pm. The Empress has accomplished the passage in 95 days
from the start, being the quickest made during the season. On her last trip
she made the passage here in 92 days. on which occasion it will be remembered
she brought the officers  men of the Military Train. The Empress brings a large
cargo of general merchandise and nearly 300 passengers, a list of which we
published our last. The greatest harmony appear to have prevailed amongst them
during the voyage, and from the testimonials which appear else where, it will
seem that the Captain, and Chief Office won the esteem and goodwill of those
placed under their charge. "

Captain Ellis and Mr Drew The Chief Office, have now made two rapid voyages
in the Empress to this port, and we must congratulate them upon their success.

Testimonials To The Captain and Chief Officer Of The Empress....

We have the great pleasure in Publishing the following testimonials...

"Dear Sir.... Our pleasant and prosperous voyage being now nearly ended, we
wish, ere we part from you and the good ship, to tender to you our admiration
of your nautical ability as a Commander, your courtesy as a gentleman, and our
gratitude for the anxiety you have always shown to afford us every comfort, and
render the voyage an agreeable one. We therefore, have great pleasure in wishing
you a safe and quick passage home, a happy reunion with your wife and family,
and every success in your future career. We beg to subscribe ourselves your sincere
well-wishes."

(Here follow the signatures, not printed in the paper)

To Captain E.P.ELLIS,
Ship Empress May 13 1865

"The undersigned passengers by the Ship Empress desire hereby to testify
their unanimous sense and appreciation of the thorough nautical capacity and
unfailing courtesy of manner displayed and maintained by the Chief Officer
Mr Drew, during a long and arduous voyage, and also to make some
acknowledgement of the able service rendered by him at all times in the
working of the Ship. That his preserving efforts and praise worthy conduct
may meet with success they merit, and that he may prosper in all his
undertakings in the earnest hope of his sincere well-wishes."
