It arrived at Pictou 16 July 1841 with typhus on board. Because there was no hospital in Pictou, the passengers were removed to shore and presumably quarantined, while the ship was cleaned. By 23 September 1841, 26 of the passengers had caught the typus and 6 of them died. They were buried in the graveyard at Cariboo Beaches. Doctor Martin, health officer of the port, seems to have also caught the typus and died. Originally 75 of the passengers were to have disembarked at Pictou with the remainder of the 240ish going on to Quebec. However, 135 of them couldn't be persuaded to get back on the ship, given what they had gone through and given that they rather liked what they saw of Pictou. The passenger list provided is drawn up from a list of those who signed a protest against their treatment during the voyage. It totals 44 men, who as heads of household, presumably signed for their families.
