MARGARET, from Sydney ; ARAMINTA, from Liverpool with 380 immigrants ..... The ARAMINTA from Liverpool, arrived off Point Richards, on Friday last, where she anchored. In getting under way again the jib filled unexpectedly, and the ship cast the wrong way, falling broadside towards the bank. She draws fifteen feet, and is now lying with 18 feet of water alongside. The Araminta is 103 days out, having now on board 394 souls, immigrants. 24 deaths have occurred during the voyage, chiefly from diarrhoea. No deaths have occurred since 29th September last. One man was lost overboard.__ Melbourne Herald I can't help with the passenger list, other than what you've already found, but other listers should be able to point you in the right direction.
