ARRIVAL OF CITY OF ADELAIDE


There were not many families, though over 20 souls, great and small people
occupied the space allotted to that class. There were 7 males and 11
females, with 6 male children and 12 female children. Of single men there
were 26, all healthy looking persons, who ought, from appearances, to make
good colonists. There are 25 single females, some of whom are servants; but
the greater proportion have arrived through the advice of friends in the
colony.
In the industrial column there are 20 described as servants, 6 as
housekeepers, 2 as dressmakers, 9 as copper miners, 16 as labourers, with
one as printer's labourer. In nationality the English preponderate,
numbering 69; while the Irish there are 37, and a canny Scot alone
represents his nation.
