Thc comfort of passengers has been made a consideration during the voyagc, and there were no complaints as to overcrowding, or of inattention to sanitarv matters.... efforts were made by the passengers themselves to promote social (life or well being?), und concerts and dancing were frequent. There was a very (?) brass band on board to cheer things up, and as the steamer was berthing alongside the pier in Port Melbourne yesterrday a selectlon of airs was played far the delectation of the departing passengers The health of the people on board is said to havo been excellent, throughout. Tho medical officer of the Salier, Dr. (?), is a member of tho Board of Health, (Jen nan} There, was one death that of Mrs (?) who died from natural causes. She had two children with her, one a girl aged about 10, and a boy......(?) The orphaned children were taken care of by direction of Captain and a subscription was got up amongst the passengers for them. They had no-one here to receive them, nor did they know what thelr mother's plans or Intentions were. In this helpless and pitiable plight they were humanely taken care of by Mr (?) the health offlccr, who will keep them at his own homo until some action is taken with regard to their disposal cither by returning them to their relatives, if such can be found, or providing for their settlement here. There was also a case of suicide... (?) having thrown himself overboard at night in the Straits of Gibraltar. He had been acting strangely, and was considered to be of unsound mind.
