the Hindostan, a vessel of some 1300 tons, chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company, left London on March 26, 1874, and arrived at Port Chalmers on July 12, a passage of 108 days. She had on board 344 passengers. Captain White was in command. The following year she was in Wellington, being on this voyage commanded by Captain Gregory.
