THE OTAGO WITNESS
10 Aug 1861


The clipper "Velore" - The long looked for
"Velore", sent out here by Shaw, Savill, and Co.,
dropped anchor in this port on Tuesday last, having
cleared from London on the 7th March, thus making
a long passage of 152 days, of which the passengers
inform us they were heartily sick, and no wonder.
The "Velore" has brought upwards of 20 passengers,
and a large cargo, which should have been landed
months ago. Shaw, Savill, and Co. certainly
deserve praise for the fst-sailing class of
vessels they send to this port with goods, and we
trust merchants at home will note it. We can
obtain no particulars of the voyage.
