THE NATAL SETTLER-AGENT - BY DR. JOHN CLARK. The Career Of John Moreland, agent for the Byrne emigration scheme of 1849-51. EDWARD: Described by Byrne as 'a splendid new ship of 1000 tons burthen' (actually 680), eight feet between decks, drawing from 12 to 13 feet of water, and capable of accommodating with ease and comfort her 250 emigrants, the barque Edward sailed from Gravesend on 9 January 1850, and after a good passage arrived safely on 24 March. The master, Captain Robertson, was - according to Moreland - 'worthy his post'. The Colonial Land & Emigration Commissioners were reputed to have withheld sailing orders because the ship was too large to enter the harbour of Durban. Byrne therefore supplied a new surf-boat constructed by the best boat builder in London and 'as strong as copper and teakwood can make her'. Since he also wished the boat to be used for fishing, he sent two men with her on the Edward, their names being Wilkinson and Bartlett. Nothing came of this plan of establishing fisheries. Moreland mentions that the ship was speedily discharged of passengers and cargo because of this useful new boat which he named the 'Agnes' in honour of Mrs Byrne. Among the passengers were W.H. Acutt, John Baseley, Antony Pigg, the three Dacomb brothers, John L. Feilden, Richard Tyzack, Thomas Groom, and about 20 Wesleyans.
