Irish Times]:
Emigration to the Transvaal. On Tuesday evening a large party of land settlers in the Transvaal, British South Africa, left the North Wall by steamship Isabella en route for London and Southampton, where they embarked for Natal. Among the passengers was the family of Mr Patrick Tuohy (numbering fifteen) from Corofin, County Clare, this gentleman being the purchaser of an estate of 3,000 acres in our accession in South Africa from Mr Donnelly, College –green. The remaining emigrants, or settlers, had farms contiguous to that of Mr Tuohy, and scene at the vessel’s side was quite an affecting one as the Isabella steamed away. Irish Times.
