THE HERO.

The misfortune of the Hero in having brought a small-pox case into Australia has been 'promptly made use of to pre judice that most popular of steamships in the estimation of the public. In some way or another the story was trumped up that the Hero is a dirty ship, a state ment that will take by surprise every one that ever had the pleasure of travelling with Captain Logan. The false and mali cious rumour had the effect of bringing forth a host of letters from the passengers flatly contradicting the report, a few of which we subjoin. But more important and conclusive even than these was a joint letter published in the Argus from the steerage passengers among whom, if any, filth might have been expected to be found, but who state that the arrange ments for the passengers in the fore-cabin were excellent, and in every sense satis factory to them, and that the vessel was kept as clean as possible. The Hero has met with a great misfortune such as with unreasoning and senseless people may operate against her for some time, but we believe this malicious attempt to make capital against her out of her misfortunes, piling up the agony by untruth, will have a directly contrary effect to that intended. The following correspondence has passed on the subject:—

[COPT.] Melbourne, 11th July, 1872. L. J. Sherrard, Esq.—Dear Sir,—No doubt you will hare obeserved a statement in the Argus of the 9th fast., to the effect that while the Nebraska steamer was moat clean and comfortable, the Hero wai greatly overcrowded and in a most filthy condition —in fact ascribing the break-out of small-pox to the dirt on board- the Hero. As you were a passenger this voyage would you kindly inform us of the true state of the case, so that if the Hero was in the state described the matter may be inquired into ; but, on the other hand, if the complaints are unfounded we may use your name and authority for the contradiction of the report. We are writing to o*9 others passengers on the same subject.—We remain, yours very truly, (Signed) BEIGHT Bbothers and Co.

Melbourne, 12th July, 1872.

Messrs. Bright Brothers and Co. —Dear Sirs, —I am in receipt of your favor of 11th instant, in which you state " no doubt you will have observed a statement in the Argus of the 9th instant to the effect that whilst the Ne braska steamer was most clean and comfortable the Hero was greatly overcrowded and in a most filthy condition—in fact nscribing the break-out of small-pox to the dirt on board the Hero," In reply, I beg to state I have not seen the statement referred to by you as having appeared in the Argus. As to the Bteamer Nebraska being clean and comfortable: as a comfortable sea-boat we found her every thing that could be desired, fiommanded by a seaman of experience, civil and obliging ; but as far "as the comfort of the passengers was concorned we found the the ship dirty—the attendance, provisions and cooking, simply vile: I have at various periods travelled in the steamships of nearly every country of Europe, but I never experienced anything so bad as the Nebraska. As regards the Hero, we had on her voyage from New Zealand, owing to the break-down of the City of Melbourne, more than her usual number of passengers; but the whole of the passengers who travelled by the Nebraska were delighted with the change of ships.; the contrast was most marked ia every way. In the Hero we found everything conducted in a very superior way, great civility, attention and courtesy from Cap tain Logan and the other oflioerß of the ship, and a well arranged staff of waiters ; indeed, we fo.jj^/'i.rwything extremely comfortable j takL%N.- .J^nsideration the size of the ship, it coiafrjii&i! be much improved upon. As regard* the dirt, if the Hero were filthy dirty, as you say the paragraph states, I have only to say that it must have been well concealed from the passengers, as I certainly had no reason to complain of it, nor did I hear a single passenger find any fault whatever, but quite the reverse. Tha cabins occupied by my family were extremely clean, and the floors washed out eveiry morning, which is more than what is usual with the very best managed linen of steatnors. If small-pox should be introduced into the colony, yet I do not see on what principle of justice the ships Nebraska and Hero can be blamed. I have no hesitation in saying that we had no disease or sickness of any kind whatever on board either the Nebraska or Hero. I cannot conceive it possible that any person could have the seeds of small-pox io long about them without its

being developed, as the time occupied between ban Francisco and Melbourne was nearly forty days (including stoppages ) At the same time 1 may say that in travelling tlirough the con tinent of America, I found small-pox to prevail all over it, from New York to San Francisco. I was also told that small-pox was in Honolulu, where we Btayed some twenty-four hours, and all the passengers went ashore. On our arrival in Auckland we also heard of small-pox being at Wellington. It therefore appears to mo to be really difficult for the public to judge where the small-pox was brought from ; probably the most easy way to discover would be for the health officer to ascertain from the family who was first attacked with the disease where they came from originally, and if they themselves had come in contact with any persons suffering from small-pox.—l am, dear sirs, yours very truly, (Signed) Leslie J. Shebbabb.

Goldsborough's Wool Warehouse, July 13, 1872. Messrs Bright Bros, and Co., Melbourne. — Dear Sirs, —In reply to yours of yesterday, respecting a statement which appeared in the public papers that the steamer Hero was in a filthy and overcrowded condition at the time she brought over the Nebraska's passengers from Auckland, I have pleasure in stating that I was a passenger by the Hero to and from Auckland, leaving this port on the 11th May, and returning on the 3rd June, and that during that period I was not absent from the veßsel one whole day, I was very comfortable on board, and can speak highly of the general arrangement and condition of the ship ; and can positively state that so far as the saloon and deck were concerned nothing that could be designated filthy existed on board. I was never below in the steerage. I believe some of the discontent of part of the Nebraska's passengers to the Hero may be traced to the fact that while a portion of them were dis satisfied with the Nebraska's arrangements, and spoke slightingly of them, others took tho opposite, and made comparisons of the twe boats at the expense of the Hero. —I remain, dear sirs, yours truly, (signed) John Lees.
