After a. week's detention she cleared the channel, taking her final departure from Plymouth on August 17. The passage throughout, was pleasant, but the weather exceedingly changeable. The Black Eagle has brought some 144 passengers, apparently of a superior class." Eight white swans, a gift from her Majesty the Queen, were shipped by the Black Eagle to the Governor, Sir George Grey. Six of them were lost in the Bay of Biscay. The surviving pair were liberated in Lake Takapuna. Most of those who arrived by the ship settled at Maungakaramea, on 40-acre sections granted by the Provincial Government.
