The Endymion.
Four passages to New Zealand were made by the Endymion, 759 tons, Captain Richardson. Her first appearance was in, Auckland in 1873. She left the Docks on April 8, and reached Auckland on July 18, 101 days from the Docks. Just after passing the Cape a sad accident happened. At 4 o'clock one morning an apprentice named John Richards was missing. No one ever knew exactly what happened, but it was supposed that he must have fallen overboard during his watch. the Endymion, which was built in 1869, at Glasgow, for the tea trade, was a superior class of vessel, with excellent accommodation for passengers. The passages made by the ship were:—
