Arrival of the "Maori"
(From the Lyttleton Times, July 12 1858)
Arrived - July 14, ship Maori 799 tons G C Petherbridge from London, March 26.
Passengers for Canterbury -Saloon , Messrs Wilkinson, Palainet, Ainley, Bushell, Traberne and Price, Mr and Mrs Butler, Mrs Honeyman, Mrs Price and 177 second cabin and steerage, whose names were given in a former number.

The Maori, which we formally stated as having sailed from Gravesend on March 26 arrived on Wednesday last making a voyage of 110 days.

After starting she met with strong south-west gales, which continued for twenty one days, and prevented her from passing the Madeira till her 26th day of departure.

On May 15 the fore top mast and three top-gallant masts were carried away, which caused a further detention, and during the last ten days of the voyage she made very little headway from calms and light winds. She made Stewart Island on Monday last. Taking the voyage altogether, it was fine and agreeable. Three births and seven deaths occurred.

All the later were natural, one having died of consumption and one having come on board in a state of debility from a previous illness. The following is a list of the deaths: - Second Cabin, James Wilson, single, Steerage James Barber, single: Henry Cousins, married- no children; Mrs Moss and infant; Lucy Rainbow, single; and Thomas Heslop, single.

When the immigrants per Maori landed they were temporarily furnished at the barracks, which we are glad to perceive, have been considerably improved and enlarged with additional rooms, and otherwise rendered commodious and comfortable than heretofore.

The immigrants are, with few exceptions, a prime, healthy lot including several mechanics and nearly all of them have been already engaged.
