"The Gainsborough, commanded by Captain Charlton, arrived in harbour on Saturday morning after a passage of eighty four days from Plymouth. The commissioners and health officer, Dr. Rouse, went down at 1:30 pm, and found all well on board. The ship presented a clean appearance; the immigrants look very well and all speak in high praise of their treatment. The ship is provided with one of Graveley's distilling apparatus, which has acted well during the passage. She left Gravesend on January 25, and discharged the pilot off Dartmouth on January 29; on the 30th encountered a strong gale and was knocked about in the Channel till February 5, when she put into Plymouth and sailed again from that port on the 8th.
