The “Mathesis” left Dundee in Scotland on its maiden voyage to Port Phillip and then Sydney. It was a timber ship, weighing 365 tons. The ship was launched on Wednesday 24th March 1841, registered in April 1841 and was owned by James Gordon. In May, it sailed for Dundee with Alexander Gordon as the Ship’s master to pick up the 88 passengers, almost all of whom were farm workers and their families from Aberdeenshire.
On 20th June, the Mathesis stopped briefly at St Jago (now called Santiago), the largest of the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of North Africa. On the 9th August disaster struck and the following report is from “The Chronicle” in Hobart on the 28th January 18423. “Between 11am and 12noon, the third mate was in the store-room getting out provisions, when some straw, which was lying loose, caught fire by a spark from his candle. The fire spread rapidly, and when the alarm was given, great confusion took place, so much so that for some time little could be done. The seamen were ordered to clear away the boats and keep them in readiness, but instead of doing so they got into them and pushed off, leaving the captain, officers and emigrants, on board ship.
After order was restored to some degree, the emigrants passed along water with a will; all hatches were put on, and sails put over them to prevent ventilation. The tops were knocked off seven water casks, which were filled with water, and then the hatches were removed and water poured in and the hatches immediately put on again. This was repeated several times; in fact, as long as they were able for the exertion. At 4pm, when the fire was a good deal subdued, the seamen returned on board and assisted in drawing water; this was continued till the evening of Tuesday, the 10th, when it was supposed the fire was out. The pumps were now manned to get quit of some of the water they had poured in, and at six in the morning of Wednesday, the water was well out of her. On removing the hatches, in the morning, the hold was still full of smoke; but in a short time they were able to descend. They now bore away for Rio de Janeiro, where they arrived on the 25th of August.
The cargo was very much destroyed, and sold for very little; the ship has sustained great damage, so much so, that in one part, on scraping a little of the inside with a nail, we reached the copper. The ship's chronometer was quite destroyed."
The ship arrived in Rio de Janeiro and remained there for almost 3 months while it was repaired. It left Rio de Janeiro on 24th November.
On 13th January, less than 3 weeks out of Sydney, Andrew Farquharson Sr. died and was buried at sea. This left Jane and her children to arrive in the Colony by themselves.
The ship arrived in Port Phillip on 28th January and on 30th January 1842 the Mathesis finally arrived in Sydney, 242 days after leaving Dundee.
The report of the ship’s surgeon was highly complementary of the health and behaviour of the passengers but was critical of some of the food supplied, some of the toilets between decks being very smelly and injurious to their health, the accommodation being constantly wet and damp due to the rain and the heavy seas.
Together with the poor passage of air through the lower decks it was necessary to air the bedding and blankets on deck as often as possible.
Despite being sponsored to NSW by Mr. Beattie to be farmers, the family first stayed with a Mrs. Stewart of Customs House in Sydney.
She emigrated on 2 Jun 1841 from Dundee, Angus.
Harriett Farquharson married Archibald Mosman, son of Hugh Mosman and Agnes Kennedy, on 31 Dec 1847 at St Andrew's Scots Church (Presbyterian) in Sydney, New South Wales, and Rev. John McGarvie performed the marriage ceremony.
Harriett Mosman died on 24 Aug 1883 at Clarges Street, Piccadilly in London at the age of 62 as recorded on her grave.
She was buried at St Jude's Cemetery, Avoca Street in Randwick, New South Wales, at her special request.
