Nothing worthy of note occurred during the voyage except a continuance of gales and squally weather after leaving the Cape. the Accrington was commanded by Captain Christie and brought out 12 saloon passengers and 310 assisted immigrants. During the voyage twelve deaths occurred. This was the only passage made to New Zealand by the Accrington.
