than are needed , "but thousands will not be too many for our colonies .
I would recommend ladies to choose ships which sail from _LondonGravesendPortsmouthand Plymouth , and belong to
, , , London owners , in preference to Liverpool or Scotch . The class of passengers in the first named is altogether different from the last ;
the ships are more orderly , less crowded , and generally supplied in a manner much more agreeable to ladies . Always choose a poop
ship ; the raised deck is invaluable in rough weather , if there is an after hatchway . In a ship of 1000 -or 1 , 200 . tons , poop side-cabins
should be preferred ; these , with good management , will each accommodate three . Passage money is always a matter of arrangement
according to space required , and the number in party : I think £ 40 would be a maximum . Passengers fit up their own cabins generally ,
in good ships ; and very little indeed is necessary ; a cabin for three coiild be fitted up for a few pounds only , and everything would be
useful on landing . There is an abundant supply of everything on boardwith civil , attentive men-servants . Lady passengers only
, require their services occasionally , ( say once a week , ) when they will wash out the cabin in half an hour : their fee is about ten or fifteen
shillings for each passenger on leaving the ship ; but it is quite optional . On first going on board , you speak to one of the cuddy servants to
attend upon your cabin , and he only does what is necessary . *' corner small * As tin washstand cabin foot-bath furniture , with a swing , small a chest ing , deep tray of drawers , to painted bang is , zinc preferable at ni basin ht ; to a lenty boxes water of - ; can pockets a fixed and
