The following passengers are shown as having died 12 September 1853 in 
Melbourne, Australia:
  Mrs Jane Campbell, aged 23, daughter of John McKay of West River, Pictou. 
      She was the wife of Angus Campbell (died 12 Sept 1853)
  John MacKay, aged 10 1/2 months, son of Angus MacKay of West River, Pictou 
      (died 12 September 1853)

Note that this is not a complete passenger list: it was taken when the ship 
arrived in Halifax from PEI and Pictou, others boarded at Halifax. For 
instance, Angus Mackay (mentioned above) is not shown on the passenger list. 
He may be the A. McKay on the list, or he may have boarded at Halifax, even 
though he was from Pictou. When a full list becomes known, it will be posted. 


Reviewer's Note:

These passengers were not numbered in the book.  Numbers have been added for 
ease of reference.
