Clerical Visitors, Advocate, Melbourne, 3 March 1877, p 6, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article170434994: By the iron clipper ship Rolla, which arrived in Hobson's Bay, from London, on the 18th ult., the Rev. J. S. Vaughan, a brother of his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Vaughan, Archbishop of Nazianzus, and coadjutor to the Archbishop of Sydney, arrived in Melbourne. The Rev. Mr. Vaughan, who is a very young gentleman, was ordained only six months ago, and has been connected with the diocese of Salford, England, of which another brother—the Rt. Rev. Herbert Vaughan, D.D.—is the Bishop. Father Vaughan passed through Melbourne en route to Sydney, where he purposes stopping at least a couple of months, on a visit to his brother, the Archbishop. The Rolla left London on the 25th November, the Downs on the 30th, and the Lizards on the 7th December; she crossed the Equator on the 28th December, passed the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope on the 24th January, and reached Cape Otway on the night of the 16th ult. The Rev. Mr. Kenny, a native of Kilkenny, who had spent four years on the English mission, and was lately attached to the diocese of Salford, was a fellow-passenger of Father Vaughan in the Rolla. He was in a bad state of health, and purposed spending some time in Victoria, in the Archdiocese of Melbourne, for the benefit of his health. We are sorry to say that the reverend gentleman died at sea when within ten days' sail of Melbourne, and was consigned to a grave in the ocean. His dying request was that he should be buried ashore, but the master of the vessel, Capt. Pitkethly, did not consider he could comply with the request, alleging that if he retained the body on board his crew would refuse to work. Father Kenny was a young man. The eleven o'clock Mass in the Metropolitan Church, on Sunday last, was celebrated by Father Vaughan, who, in the evening, at Vespers, acted as deacon at the Archbishop's throne, and gave Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. On Monday Father Vaughan left Melbourne for Sydney by the steamer Wotonga. During his stay in Melbourne the reverend gentleman was the guest of his Grace the Archbishop, at the palace, Eastern Hill. |
