Passage

Alta California,, San Francisco, Wednesday Morning, February 4, 1852

"The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s Panama, which has been due for several days, arrived yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, bringing 484 passengers and a large mail, with dates from New York to the 26th ult., four days after. The Panama has been delayed by an accident to her machinery. We present the memoranda of her trip, kindly furnished us by Purser Lent, to whom, also we are indebted for the list of passengers, published in an appropriate column, and for late papers:

Left Panama January 12th at 6 o’clock P.M. 19th at 8 o’clock A.M, arrived at Acapulco; left again 5 o;’clock P.M. 23d, at 3 o’clock P.M. passed a steamer bound south; name unknown. 24th, at noon, spoke whaling bark Wm. T. Wheaton of New London, 16 months out, all well; 600 bbls whale and 500 barrels sperm oil; supplied her with late New York papers. 26th at 10/4 A.M., had the misfortune to break the lever shaft in the center; kept under way at about six knot speed until 10 o’clock A.M.; stopped the machinery in order that the engineers might put bands around the break; at 5 o’clock P.M., got under way, but soon found it would not be safe to proceed on our voyage; changed course for San Diego and arrived 10 o’clock 27th; Jan. 28th, at 5 o’clock P.M., the engineer having succeeded in binding and securing the lever shaft, got under way for San Francisco. After being out six hours, the chief engineer, fearing that the repairs which he had made would not stand in the event of the steamer encountering heavy weather, but back for San Diego for the purpose of making the repairs more secure; arrived at San Diego at 8 o’clock A.M. of the 29th; 31st at 2 P.M. the engineer having again secured the break in a most substantial manner got under way again. Too much praise cannot be given the Chief Engineer, Mr. John Graham, for the manner in which he secured the most important piece of machinery, enabling the steamer to get through her voyage with so little loss of time.

Capt. Watkins feels under obligations to Major J. McKinstry, Quarter Master at San Diego, for the prompt assistance rendered, and the use of such articles as were of service in making the necessary repairs.

The propeller McKim, full of passengers for San Francisco, arrived at San Diego on the afternoon of the 28th for supplies. The propeller Monumental City arrived at Panama on Jan. 10th. The steamer Republic was to leave Panama for San Francisco on or about the 15th. No sickness at Panama. Feb. 2d, at 6 o’clock, A.M., passed a steamer bound south; name unknown. At 12 o’clock, P.M., passed a steamer bound south; name unknown. Feb. 3d at 2 o’clock, A.M., saw a light, supposed to be that of a steamer bound south.

We are under obligation to Capt. Watkins for the momentary detention of his steamer at the heads, to permit our marine reporter to board. Through the prompt services of Messrs. Adams & Co.’s Gregory’s and Berford & Co.’s Expresses, we were, immediately on the arrival of the Panama furnished with our usual files of Eastern papers.

Passengers who died enroute: January 29 Augustus W. Robinson, age 58, from Chicot County, Arkansas, of disease of the heart; January 29 William Reynolds, age 34, from Wales, of general debility; January 29 John Q. Jones, age 22, from Scituate, Mass, of fever; January 30 Coman Smith, age 53, from Scituate, Mass, of general debility caused by fever.
