100 YEARS AGO.

HOSPITAL SHIPS IN RIVER THAMES,

THE CHINA MAIL.

Just a hundred years ago an epidemic of cholera caused havoc in many parts of the country, but it was severely felt in and about the port of London, says the Journal of Commerce.

In those days there were few, if any, precautions taken to fight against the importation of diseases, and the ports of the country were particularly liable to be the starting points from which these spread to other parts of the kingdom.

How severe some of these in- vasions were ate indicated in cer- tain old log books which have been unearthed from the dust of years in the cellars of the Sea- men's

Hospital. Greenwich, which originally belonged to one (the Dreadnought) of three hos- pital ships moored of Greenwich more than a century ago to sup- plement the work of the shore hospitals. ! The

log books in question cover a period of nearly forty years, and refer particularly to the outbreak of cholera in 1830, and the recurrence of the disease! in epidemic form in many sub- sequent years, "when the disease raged all over dockland." So great was the pressure for hos- pital accommodation that an- other ship was lent by the Ad-. miralty to accommodate the

cases.
