The Asia.

the Asia, a vessel of 1445 tons, owned by W. Brown, of Glasgow, and chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company, was in New Zealand waters on one occasion only. She left London originally, but called at Cork to embark her passengers, who numbered 391, and sailed from that port on February 8, 1874. The Line was crossed on March 5. After a good passage the ship made her landfall at Cape Saunders at daylight on April 26, and arrived in port next day—78 days from Cork, or 87 days from London. the Asia was in command of Captain T. McMillan.
