Printed in ‘The Press’ Saturday 24 1883 – Re The Crusader Voyage
Messrs Shaw, Savill and Co’s well known ship Crusader arrived on Thursday night with 381 immigrants on board, nominated by friends resident in the colony. they voyage from London or from leaving Plymouth, where the passengers embarked, to anchoring off the Heads, occupied ninety-four days, and was as to weather remarkable for freedom from severe gales and unpleasantly strong winds and stormy seas. The ship anchored at the heads on Thursday night, and while there was struck by one of the hard squalls, which broke her cable, and the anchor had to be let go to bring her up. The steam tug Lyttleton went down for her yesterday morning and towed her up to an anchorage of Ripa Island. She was cleared by the Health Officer, and after inspection by the Immigration Commissioners, the friends of those on board were admitted, and during the day a large number of passengers were landed.
The vessel came into port in admirable order, aloft and allow, reflecting every credit upon Mr Richards, the chief officer. the ‘tween decks were occupied wholly by the immigrants, and the condition of single men’s quarters down the fore hatch, the married people’s down the main hatch, and the single women’s down aft was all that could be wished, everything being beautifully clean and orderly.
Dr Husband, now finishing his fourteenth voyage to the colonies in charge of immigrant ships, and who was here last in the ship Rakia, is to be congratulated upon the success of his work. He had a busy time of it with measles from soon after starting to making the Cape of Good Hope, and he reports on death of an infant Fergan, of convulsions. Mrs Toombs gave birth to a female child during the voyage. The doctor gives the passengers a first-class name for orderly behaviour and respect for authority, and expresses his satisfaction at the way in which the matron, Mrs Jackson discharged the responsible duties of that position over 166 single women. The later complained a little of the stringency of Mrs Jackson’s regulations, but no doubt saw the propriety of the extreme circumspection they imposed on the voyage ended. Dr Husband wishes to mention the services of Mrs Johnson, Mrs McPherson and Miss Phynn in the capacity of assistants. He also reports that the medical stores put on board were of first quality and abundance. The passengers themselves speak in high terms of his attention, and of the courtesy of the officers, mentioning especially the kindly and sociable manner of the master. Captain Lewellyn Davis, an old and able commander in the employ.
A very sad occurrence took place while running down the easting. On March 6th, the ship was in 46,35S, 125.2E and travelling at 11 knots an hour. It was about noon when a boy named Edward was leaning over the bulwarks and overbalanced, falling into the trough of a heavy sea. Captain Davis, on the poop at the time, had a moment before told the lad to get down, and he noticed the little fellow go over instantly backed the yards and hauled up the courses and as the Doctor states ‘with astonishing smartness he had the boat lowered’. The poor little fellow was seen astern once from the ship, struggling in the water, and a life buoy was thrown to the spot by the master. The boat was out over an hour, but the search was fruitless.
Enquiries made amongst the passengers as to the dietary scale elicited the most satisfactory replies. The food was of good quality, and very liberal in quantity.
The monotony of the voyage was relieved from time to time by concerts and entertainment.
The names of the officers of the Crusader are Mr Richards, chief, Mr Edwards, second, and Mr Enon, third.

16 February 1908 Christopher AUTON was charged with incest. His daughter Sarah had been residing with Mrs LOWTHER in Rockhampton since October 1907. Sarah AUTON reported in court to have never had any relations with her brothers or anyone else.
Margaret Ann AUTON had left her home 25 February 1907 to see her son who was away in hospital. She was two nights away from home. Two of her sons told her what had happened. Three years before, Margaret Ann had threatened to leave Christopher if he behaved improperly with Sarah.
Sarah AUTON was medically examined. Margaret Ann believed that Christopher was the father of her daughter’s child because she had seen letters some four years ago in which Christopher AUTON had said his daughters would have to yield to his advances.
Margaret Ann AUTON moved to the residence of her son Joseph William AUTON at ‘Clear Water’, Rockhampton.
Joseph William AUTON had told his father it was a crime.
Thomas AUTON, brother, told his father to leave the house or receive a good thrashing. Christopher AUTON went to his married daughter’s place Annie Louisa JACKSON (nee AUTON).
Sarah was reported to have not had a boyfriend. Christopher Albert AUTON her 17 year old brother gave evidence similar to other witnesses.
