"Clothing.--The lowest quantity that can be admitted for emigrants to the Cape is as follows:--" +========================================+=======================+ |For Males. |For Females. | +----------------------------------------+-----------------------+ |Four shirts. |Six shifts. | +----------------------------------------+-----------------------+ |Four pairs stockings. |Two flannel petticoats.| +----------------------------------------+-----------------------+ |Two pairs shoes. |Four pairs stockings. | +----------------------------------------+-----------------------+ |Two complete suits of exterior clothing.|Two pairs shoes. | +----------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | |Two gowns. | +========================================+=======================+ "For use on the voyage, shoes or slippers are much more convenient than boots. The following is a cheap and excellent composition for preserving leather from the bad effects of sea-water; linseed oil, one gill; spirit of turpentine, one ounce; bees'-wax, one ounce; Burgundy pitch, half ounce; to be well melted together, and kept covered in a gallipot; lay it on boots or or shoes, rubbing it in well, and set them in a hot sun, or before the fire. "The usual length of the voyage to the Cape of Good Hope is about seventy days. "The whole quantity of baggage for each adult emigrant must not measure more than twenty cubic or solid feet, nor exceed half a ton in weight. It must be divided into two or three boxes, the contents of which must be closely packed, so as to save space in the ship. Large packages and extra baggage will not be taken unless paid for, and then only in case there be room in the ship. "Each family will be allowed to take only its own luggage. Any violation of this rule will subject the party to a forfeiture of his passage. "On arrival in the colony the emigrants will be at perfect liberty to engage themselves to any one willing to employ them, and to make their own bargain for wages. No repayment or service is required from them for the passage out. The only return expected is, a strict observance on board of the regulations framed with a view to their health and comfort during the voyage, and general good conduct and industrious habits in the colony. "Letters, etc, should be addressed, post paid, to Stephen Walcott, Esq, Secretary to the Board of Emigration, Number 9, Park Street, Westminster."
