a bit on the voyage -

The Argus, Thursday 3rd Sep1857
The Hornet, from Southampton, anchored in Hobson's Bay yesterday. She brings 448 Government immigrants,
which are classed as follows:- Married couples, 47; single women, 236; single men, 23; children from 1 to 12
years, 90; infants, 5. Six births have taken place on the passage, and no death has occurred among the
passengers. A fatal accident happened on the 27th July, when, during a very heavy gale, a boy named Joseph
Bulmer, aged sixteen years, a native of Shields, fell from the main-yard on deck, and died about twenty-four
hours afterwards. Capt. Grieves reports having experienced very heavy weather throughout the passage; as
also the loss of the cross-jack yard.

(Trove) The South Aust. Advertiser 4th August 1883 page 5.
Our obituary notices record the death of Mr. John Saunders, at Menindie, in New South
Wales. The deceased gentleman was well known in Adelaide, having at one time been
prominently associated with the brewing business of the late Mr. John Primrose, and
having also filled important positions in both the Manchester Order of Oddfellows and
the old Volunteer Force.
Latterly Mr. Saunders resided at Wentworth, which place he was asked to represent
in the Sydney Parliament, but he declined to become a candidate for
senatorial honors, and soon afterwards left Australia on a visit to England for the
benefit of his health, which was in an un-satisfactory state. It is not so very long
ago that he returned. The deceased gentleman, who was much respected, leaves three
daughters, one of whom is married to Mr. John Hill, of Adelaide, and another to Mr.
Filgate, of Wilcannia.
