the year 1896, by Dr. P. B. C. AYRES, C.M.G., Colonial Surgeon.)
(
"This year (1896) for the first time oue of the Staff was attacked by
Plague. Sister CATHERINE, (Miss Mclsrosu), our Chinese Scholar, who had
done most valuable work in the Plague Hospital for the first three years, had
a very severe attack of plague, and caused us all great anxiety and sincere
gratification when she showed signs of convalescence. She was scut home on
sick leave as soon as possible and has made a complete recovery, becoming
so well that she gave up part of her leave and has gone out to India to assist
the nursing of the Plague patients in the epidemic now raging there."
