The Caribou.

In the two passages she made to Port Chalmers the ship Caribou, 1160 tons, brought a number of passengers from Scotland. She was commanded by Captain Mitchell. Leaving Glasgow with 200 passengers on October 6, 1866, she took her final departure from Cape Clear on October 14, crossed the Equator on November 14, sighted the Snares on January 10, 1867, and arrived at Port Chalmers on January 13—a passage of 99 days. On February 13, 1868, she again left Glasgow for Port Chalmers with passengers, and on this occasion she had a most tempestuous voyage. She left the Tail of the Bank on February 19, but had to put in to Lamlash Bay on February 28 for repairs, and it was March 6 before she passed the Tuskar. The Equator was crossed on April 4, and she made Cape Saunders on June 10. Heavy weather and head winds on the coast delayed her arrival at Port Chalmers until June 17. The voyage took 125 days, and was marked by very stormy weather.
