Emigration Notes: Paragraph from Anders' brother August Anderson's narrative on the life of their father Johannes, "Pioneering in the Wairarapa" ...

The good ship 'Humboldt'.

"The family left Sweden in September 1874 going by a small ship to Hamburg, where they embarked on the German vessel the Humbolt. It was a sailing ship but it seems the hull was of iron, and it was lost on its return voyage. Life on board was not too pleasant, and representations had to be made from time to time to those in charge. The food was poor, though a number of people had laid in a stock of their own. Then it was discovered that there were lice on board and that created a regular uproar. My Dad seems to have been always on the go early and late, and he always wanted to know what was going on. One morning very early he was on deck when there was terrific shouting by the crew, and on enquiry he found that only by a miracle they had avoided a rock. Had they struck it I would not now be sitting here to write anyones history. They arrived in Wellington on 6 February 1875, after a 5 month voyage. Can one imagine what the mothers had to put up with looking after the children As far as I can gather my father was very helpful, and I am sure he would have been." ^[5]
