rescued the survivors of the English whaler Falcon which had been wrecked on Ascension Island in the Caroline Islands group. A local chief's son called Narnewah had attacked the whaler, killing some of her crew. Lambton, under Captain C Hart, had arrived on 12 August and along with the schooner Unity took them to Guam. The full narrative of the Narnewah incident was published in the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser in 1840. Lloyds The 403-ton 3-mast barque built at Deptford, Kent in 1830 by T Ward and J B Stone and owned by J Brown of Poole. The Lloyds under Captain William Green, was one of four ships hired by the New Zealand Company to bring settlers to Nelson in 1841. The others were the Fireshire, Lord Auckland and Mary Ann. The Lloyds sailed from Gravesend on 11 September 1841. All the ships arrived in Nelson in 1841. When the Lloyds came into Nelson, it brought with it many stories of sickness and death. While travelling the seas between Port Gravesend in England and Port Nicholson in New Zealand, 67 children under the age of 14 died due to an outbreak of whooping cough on board. Many at the time blamed the surgeon on the Lloyds. Dr George F. Bush was the surgeon aboard the Lloyds. He was 37 at the time and came from Bristol and was well known among the New Zealand Company Directors. Dr Bush should have made sure that all of the ship's food requirements went on board. However, a comparison between the "Reeves List" (the list made by the Inspector for Shipping in England) and the actual ship's list of food shows that they did not have sufficient quantities of basic provisions. Nor was this the only problem. Apart from the doctor and his wife, the Lloyds was a women-and-children-only vessel, the husbands, fathers, and other males having emigrated over 4 months earlier on the Whitby, to prepare the settlement. But the crew, of course, were men. There was a public enquiry which looked not only at hygiene and rationing, but at the behaviour of the crew (and some of the women). In 1833, 1837, and 1845 the Lloyds brought convicts to New South Wales and Tasmania. The Lloyds had sailed to Sydney in 1835 under Edward Garrett, RN, arriving with cargo on 2 November. She was again in Australia in 1838
