In the address to Captain Underwood the passengers say— “ We believe that we are correct in asserting that the storm which caught us a few hours after leaving the Bluff harbor was one which, whether for fierceness or duration, has rurcly’bech equalled on the New Zealand coast; and we feel that to you and your officers and crew, and to the excellent sea-going qualities of the vessel which you command, we owe it that our voyage has come to a happy instead of a disastrous termination. The serious injuries which you received, and those which two of your crew received, during the continuance of the gale, will not, we hope, bo of a lasting character; and we heartily wish you and all who are connected with the Alhambra many prosperous voyages in the future.
