Passage

Daily Alta California, July 15, 1852

HEAVY ARRIVAL OF PASSENGERS VIA CAPE HORN.--
Reference to our shipping memoranda will show the arrival of the ship Gov. Morton, from New York, after a passage of one hundred and twenty four days, having on board one hundred and eight passengers. This is the largest number of passengers that has arrived in one ship by the way of Cape Horn in many months. It recalls the days of early emigration to California, when a Cape Horn passage was the most comfortable trip to the gold mines, and when ship loads were borne hither in crazy old hulks, which it always seemed quite miraculous should have survived the journey.

A PASSENGERS� CARD.�The passengers by the ship Gov. Morton, from New York, adopting the fashionable method of an "expression" at the "close of a long journey," by a card to the captain and officers of the vessel, present in another column one of the spiciest "tokens" that we have read for many a day. Such a torrent of complaint and censure could only emanate from a shipload of passengers whose patience as well as their bread, butter and "small stores" had been exhausted by a trip around Cape Horn. (Note: The "card" will be located and printed herein.)
