Early yesterday morning the_ New Zealand Shipping Company’s ship Waimate, Captain Peek, anchored in Port from London after a good passage of eighty-eight days, and a smart round trip of seven months and three days. Her passenger list comprises twenty saloon, thirtythree second cabin, and 100 steerage—total, 153 sonls. No deaths occurred, but the same illluck experienced by the last Home ship, the Westland, in respect to an epidemic amongst the children, was experienced. A few days after leaving Home a child was attacked with measles, and in all fourteen have suffered with that complaint daring the voyage, but fortunately ■without any resulting fata'ly. They were mostly affected in the second cabin, and yesterday, at last accounts, there were two children under treatment and one young fellow, named D’Oyley, an apprentice. Finding such to be the case, the Health Officer, Dr. Bouse, ordered the ship into quarantine, and later in the day it was determined to land the two families—Messrs Slocum and Jones — whose children were sick, and the apprentice upon Eipa Island, the remainder of the passengers to stay on board, where the fittings, clothes, &c., <Ste., will he thoroughly cleansed and fumigated. Camp Bay was first suggested as a landing place for the whole of the passengers, but as there are no suitable premises there for occupation, the removal of the sick ones to Eipa was deemed the moat prudent course. There are at present on the island the married people and the single women who came in the Westland, and from whom the two families will be isolated as much as possible. Beyond the presence of the measles the health of the passengers had generally been good. One accident occurred to a seaman, who suffered a fracture of the thigh by falling off the mainyard. The ship herself, from an external view of her, has arrived in admirable order, and from the appearance of the passengers yesterday as they stood looking over the ship’s side while the report of their voyage was being obtained there is room for the opinion that -they are a sociable lot of people, of the stamp to make a sea voyage pass pleasantly. It is doubtless a disappointment to them their present detention, but should no farther cases arise their quarantine will not be for long. The Waimate left Gravesend at 4 p.m. November 27th, next day cast oil tng and landed the pilot. On December 6th passed Madeira at 8 a m., and on the 29th, having had no N.E. trades worth naming, crossed the Equator. January Gth passed Trinidad at 6 a.m., and on the 18th Gough Island; thirteen days after, January 31st. passed the Crozets, and on February 21st, Saturday last, sighted the Snares at 9.30 a m.; at 1 p.m. same day passed Dunedin, since which northerly winds prevailed.
