THE S.S. PROCIDA: [Hobart Argus, Sept 15] The German steamship Procida, of Robt. M. Sloman's line, arrived yesterday morning with passengers and cargo from Hamburg, Antwerp, and London, with cargo from all three places for Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. She came by way of the Suez Canal and Adelaide, and made a very good passage. The Procida on this trip is as much of an immigrant vessel as she is of a cargo carrier. Her 'tween decks were taken up with accommodation for over 200 passengers. Of these 23 were left at Adelaide, 37 were for Melbourne, and there were also 121 Government immigrants for Tasmania. The latter leave for their destination today. In addition to the foregoing there are 30 steerage passengers for Sydney. Very good health was enjoyed on board during the passage. There were three deaths. One was that of Mrs. Scheele, who died from heat apoplexy, and the others were two children, who died from natural causes. The passengers' quarters were in good order. Captain D. Leese reported leaving Hamburg on July 5, and Antwerp on July 12. After taking in the balance of her cargo at London, they left on July l8, and had to steam cautiously down channel for two days, owing to thick foggy weather. On the passage to Port Said the weather was fine. The canal was entered on the 3rd, and departed Suez on the 5th. After quitting the Red Sea the run from Aden to Adelaide was marked by some very lively weather. Strong S.W. monsoons from the Gulf of Aden to the equator, and in the S.E. trades the steamer had to contend with strong winds and a heavy head sea. The latter broke over the vessel repeatedly, but no damage was done. In the vicinity of Cape Leuwin the wind blew a hard gale from the eastward for two days, and the weather was very severe. The Procida reached Adelaide on the 11th inst, and after discharge of 200 tons of cargo left for Melbourne at 9 p.m. same date. Fine weather marked the passage along the coast until arrival off the Heads on Sunday night, when heavy squalls of wind and rain were fallen in with. The Procida came up to the anchorage yesterday morning, and took up a berth off the railway pier, Port Melbourne. After discharge of cargo for this port she will go on to Sydney.
