Leung I Fong, West Point. Unable to give the number. As six days
had elapsed from his admission till his illness, it is more prob-
able that he was infected in the Gapl. He was received on the same
day as case 4, Leung Chan, and would occupy a bed in the corridor
close by that prisoner. Septicaemic. Convalescing.
Admitted to Gaol, 29th.
1st. June. 10. Yeung Kwai, male, act.25.
April. Had been over a month in Gaol. Had not been on stick list at
all till plague developed. Was carrying stone with case 4, Leung
Chan, on 25th. May, 1.e. the day before Leung Chan's symptoms
appeared. No other source of infection can be traced, and this
definite association with case 4 occurred. Septicaemic. Pro-
gressing favourably.
3rd. June. 11. Kam Taw Kwai, male, act.33. Admitted to Gaol,
30 th. May, Had been living at falashatsui, but unable to give
address. Probably infected outside. Septicaemic. Condition is
still very serious.
12. Cheung Sam, male, act.28. Admitted to Gaol, same
date (1.8. on the date of illness, 3rd. June). Condition detected
in Reception Room. Had been sleeping in lane opposite No. 5 Fire
Station. Septicaemic. Progressing favourably.
13. Assistant Warder Ebrahin. Lived in Gaol
Quarters. For two nights before his illness he was on night
patrol duty, but it is more probable that he was infected before that. If infection took place within the Gaol, it may have been in course of searching pris mers, which was part of his daily
duty. Septicaemic. Still serious.
14. European Warder Entwistle. Lived in Gaol
Quarters. Part of this man's duty was to "weigh in" oakum after being picked by pris,mers, and this involves taking it in two hands and shaking it out to ascertain that the interior of the mass has been adequately done. In the case of these Warders
