Arrived Wellington on the magnificent Clipper ship "Oliver Lang" 2500 tons 18 September 1858 from London

The Black Ball Clipper Oliver Lang, Captain Mundle, arrived in port this morning from London, after a remarkably quick passage of 85 days from Plymouth. She brings 60 Cabin and about 240 steerage Passengers. One death and one birth occurred on board during the voyage. The passage has been very pleasant one and [all] the passengers speak in high terms of the kindness and attention of Captain Mundle, and also of the Surgeon Dr. Morton.

She left Gravesend on the 18th June, anchored in the Downs, and passed Plymouth on the 25th. When in Latitude 20s., Long. 24 W., a slight collision took place between the Oliver Lang, and the Hamburg barque Shon, from Santos, bound to Hamburg. The figure head and part of the Shon's jib-boom were left on the Oliver Lang's deck; and a few stancheous and covering board belonging to the latter were carried away. After the accident, Captain Mundle boarded the Shon, to see if she was making water; found she was all right, and forwarded letter home by her. The Oliver Lang did not sight land after leaving the English Channel until sighting D'Urville's Island yesterday morning. About 30 of the passengers are for Canterbury, eight for Nelson, and the reminder for this place.

Obituary.

Mr J. C. Vogel. Another old Canterbury pioneer, Mr John Conrad Vogel, of Worcester street East, passed away on Tuesday of last, week. Mr Vogel, who was 79 years old at the time of his death, arrived in Canterbury by the sailing vessel Oliver Lang in October, 1859 [sic].

For some years he carried on the business of baker, but subsequently he took up dairying, an occupation which he followed until two years ago, when he retired.

Mr Vogel was twice married his first wife being Miss Martha Allen who was a passenger by the Cressy, one of the historic first four ships. she died over thirty years ago. Mr Vogel subsequently married Miss Elizabeth Lawrence, who, by a strange coincidence, died the same day as himself, her aged being 84 years.

Mr Vogel was one of the oldest and most active member of the Ancient Order of Foresters. 

Mr and Mrs Vogel were buried in Linwood Cemetery on Friday last, in the presence of a large gathering of mourners, the Rev. R. S. Gray conducting the burial services. Mr and Mrs Vogel leave one son, six daughters, thirty-nine grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
