Emigrated to Adelaide, South Australia 21 Jul 1866 on the "Prince of Wales". Arrived Port Adelaide 17 Oct 1866 from London and Plymouth.
The Prince of Wales.—This remarkably fine ship arrived last night at midnight after a capital passage of 80 days, having left Plymouth on July 21, and on the 23rd was off the Lizard with light north-east winds. On August 21 crossed the Line with very favourable weather, and on September 7 sighted Tristan d'Acuhna with strong gale blowing ; but moderately fair winds supervening, was off the Cape on the 15th, and made an admirable run across the Southern Ocean. The voyage has been marked by the loss of her master, Captain John Rippon, who died from extreme debility on September 23. On October 12 sighted Neptune Island, and not having received a pilot from the cutters, the acting master was navigating the Gulf with every caution, having a leadsman in the chains giving constant soundings ; but his conduct must have been very irregular, as he allowed the vessel to ground on Point Malcolm at half-ebb, and Pilot John Germein soon after boarded in his dingey. As soon as information could be landed Captain Douglas made the necessary arrangements to secure the services of the steamtugs for the morning's tide, and at once proceeded to the vessel to aid by his advice and assistance. A huge quantity of water was started, and pumped out in order to lighten her as much as possible, and there is every reason to believe she will be towed to the anchorage first thing this morning ; but as she draws 20 feet water some days will elapse before she proceeds into harbor.

ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES WITH GOVERNMENT IMMIGRANTS.
The Commissioners were determined to secure a spacious ship when the Prince was chartered, for being one of the old East Indiamen, she has a spar-deck, main-deck, and tween-deck, each of which is devoted to passengers, Dr. Jolley, the surgeon superintendent of the ship, is on his eighteenth voyage, so there can be no question as to his skill and ability ; indeed, although the people, generally speaking, are not quite up to the mark, the ship has arrived without any serious case of sickness.
Four deaths and four births tended to keep the number as at embarkation and from the industrial list the selection of trades is well adapted to the requirements of the colony. It was unfortunate the ship stranded on Point Malcolm, or she would have reached the anchorage on the eightieth day ; but as she possesses some novel features we shall take an opportunity of visiting her again in order more fully to give particulars of the voyage and the ship.
