The Lyttelton Times, March 30th, 1859, New Zealand shows
The Mystery is a fine handsome ship of 1069 tons register, and brings to our shores a full complement of passengers, numbering nearly 300 souls. She cleared from Gravesend on 13th December, but meeting foul winds in the channel, did not leave the Downs till the 28th of that month, since when she has had favourable and fine weather. We regret to say that some sickness has appeared on board - namely, smallpox and measles at the commencement, cases of the former disease having broken out before the departure of the ship from England. The families among whom it appeared were, of course, not permitted to proceed with the ship. This sickness did not continue, but some deaths of children occurred as usual during the voyage, and about a week before reaching port a case of scarlet fever appeared, though its effects were confined solely to one family, and when port was reached there was no sickness whatever on board. The ship, however, hoisted the yellow flag, and brought up off the quarantine ground, some distance below the usual anchorage, and no communication was permitted between the persons on board and the shore boats the whole of yesterday. For this reason we are unable to give the names and dates of the deaths which numbered 15 in all. The births during the voyage were five in number.
We append the list of passengers as they left London

J Horniblow, carpenter, wife and 5 children

W. Crump, labourer, wife and child

The arrival of the Mystery has not at once thrown the bustle and excitement over the town which usually occur on the arrival of an immigrant ship. The yellow flag at the mast-head is most assuredly an emblem of anything but gaiety, and it is especially forced on the attention here, where such a thing has never before occurred. It would be wrong, however, to be unreasonably alarmed at the occurrence, or to lament more than the fact that so many persons are detained on board when already close to port. The fact is that there is no sickness at this moment on board. There had been some at first starting from England, and a fresh but isolated case occurred about a week before arrival. On account of this latter case the authorities exercising no doubt a wise judgement, kept all shore boats from coming alongside, and placed the ship for the present in quarantine. Immediately after the news was known a copious supply of fresh meat, vegetables, bread and fruit, was sent down to be served out to all hands, and the supply will be repeated as often as necessary. The people on board look in capital health and spirits, and in fact, as we have stated, are quite free from disease. The voyage has been a comfortable one, and the whole party have passed the time happily and contentedly to an unusual degree.
-
We are happy to say that after only one day's probation the Mystery has been admitted to pratique. A quarantine board was appointed on Tuesday afternoon, the same day the ship arrived, and on investigation it was found quite unnecessary to cause any detention whatever. The yellow flag was therefore hauled down the next morning, when the result of the deliberations was transmitted to the ship, and she came up to the customary anchorage. The next day (Thursday) all the passengers, except a few girls and the ship's constables, were landed, a large number proceeding with their baggage straight to Christchurch by steamer. On inspection we find that the Mystery surpasses almost any previous emigrant ship in her accommodation. She is of large size, upwards of 1000 tons register, and is eight and a half feet high between decks. She is also well ventilated and her general arrangements for 'tween deck passengers are exceedingly good. Further than this, she is particularly clean and sweet and her passengers seem in a good state of health, and well contented. Two are invalids, one a case of bronchitis, the other after confinement. Besides these there is no ill health now, whatever might have been the case at the beginning of the voyage. The building formerly used as the bank has been appropriated for the use of the immigrants, in addition to the usual barracks.
