Arrival of the Storm Cloud
This fine vessel, under the command of Captain J Campbell, and which has brought a large and welcome addition to our population, came to an anchor at Port Chalmers on Friday the 28th ult., at 8pm, after a capital passage of 89 days, having sailed from Greenock on the 27th of January. After leaving the Clyde she experienced some hard gales from southward. Did not clear the Channel until February 3rd. Crossed the line on 23rd of same month, and from thence through the south tropics, had a continuance of head winds and calms, and did not reach the meridian of the Cape until the 56th day. On the 28th March passed between the Prince Edward Islands and from then to the Meridian of Tasmania which was reached on the 23rd ult. Had a succession of north east winds with dense fogs and rain, with an occasional heavy gale from the south east, seldom seeing sun or stars. He first westerly wind in the southern hemisphere was caught on the 23rd ult and on the 27th at 6am she made the south west cape of Stewartís Island. At 3.30pm Nugget Point was passed, and the offing of cape Saunders was reached at 8pm. The passengers have generally experienced good health. Two births and 5 deaths took place during the voyage.
Aboard the Storm Cloud - "Otago Witness May 12th 1860 page 5 : 6 casks whiskey, 127 pieces pavement, 12 grates, 52 cases whiskey, 3100 slates, 7 cases windows, 15 cases brandy, 32 flasks & 60 drums oil, 1 pkge harrows, 52 cases cordials, 5357 boards, 9 bundles galvanized wire, 8 qr casks of wine, 12 dozen girdles, 8 boxes glass, 2 casks vinegar, 15 boxes mouldings, 1 cask sugar, 2 hhdís ale, 1 plough, 2 pianos, 320 cases bottled beer, 12 cart wheels, 2 casks seeds, 2 chests tea, 1 whipple tree [Length of timber with three metal loops, the end ones to link to the horse harness, the central one to pull a harrow or other implement.], 4 boxes hams, Also 20 firkins and 20 Ω firkins, 80 boxes, 9 cases, 8 bales, 6 casks, and sundry packages of merchandise. J.S. Douglas, agent.
The Storm Cloud is a fine roomy vessel and is exceedingly well fitted up for passengers. The immigrants appear to have been well selected, comprising a good number of the most useful occupations, and the number of families of small children is much less than usual. She brings a total of 311 souls equal to 260Ω statutory adults. Among them are: 32 domestic servants, 5 shepherds, 30 ploughmen, 43 labourers, 11 carpenters, 4 blacksmiths, 12 masons, 1 clerk, 1 printer, 1 sawyer, 3 millers, 2 miners, 1 saddler, 2 butchers, 1 engineer, 3 gardeners, 1 tailor, 1 quarryman, 1 wheelwright, 1 confectioner, and 1 book binder.

The passengers were on Monday comfortably landed on the Dunedin Jetty by the steamer "Geelong," and it is to be hoped that their prosperity in the Province, which we heartily wish them, will quickly obliterate any unpleasantness of the voyage.

Sudden Deaths. On Tuesday last a man of the name James Fleming, who was working on the road at Saddle Hill, complaining of feeling ill, and walked in to Dunedin. He was admitted to the hospital, and on Wednesday morning was found dead in his bed. We have not heard the cause of death, but we understand that the body swelled to a most extraordinary extent. The deceased came to the colony by the Storm Cloud, and was to all appearance a fine strong healthy young man.. he was unmarried.
Another sudden death occurred at Dunedin on Friday last. It appears that a young man, of the name Alexander Hay, was about to be married, and on Thursday night had partaken rather freely of intoxicating drink. On Friday morning the door of his house being found open, a passer-by looked in and saw the deceased lying with his head on the bed., with a bottle near him. Medical aid was sent for, by Hay was found quite dead. The deceased came to the colony by the Storm Cloud.
