Brothers Pride
From the "Lyttelton Times" December 8 1863 Additional newspaper article, appearing in the "Lyttelton Times", December 10 1863:
On Tuesday last we briefly noticed the arrival of this vessel at the Heads, and although we possessed the information, since proved to be too true, respecting the amount of sickness on board, for the sake of the friends on shore we refrained from publishing the melancholy intelligence that fourty-four deaths had occurred during the passage.
In our columns will be found a list of sufferers as well as the number of births. We hear that Captain Sproul, on board the vessel, was refused the charge of the ship, and the offer of the pilot to place his boat and crew at the service of the ship to obtain fresh supplies for the sick children was also refused.
On Tuesday evening the anchor was raised and sail made before half a gale of wind blowing from the south-west, and at daylight the next morning the vessel was out of sight. She returned yesterday morning when off Camp Bay, and was immediately ordered to hoist the Yellow Jack.
This peremtory order of the Health Commissioner not appearing to suit this cavalier officer, in two or three hours the anchor was again up and, with the assistance of the light breeze from the north-east, the Brother's Pride was brought up just astern of the Lancashire Witch. We presume the authorities will not permit their orders, to be set at defiance, and the law treated with contempt.

Transcriber's Notes:
* Although a fair few of the birth and death names appear to be
incorrect (surnames spelled incorrectly or surnames that do not appear in
the passenger listing), I have not corrected these from the printed
manifest.
However, here are a couple of items that need to be noted:
* 1 Passenger #77 is known to have been George HELEM, and not HELEN as
recorded on the manifest/newspaper article
* 2 Isabella HEHN (Births Sept. 9) is known to have been Isabella HELEM,
wife of previously mentioned George HELEM"
