She was very soon attacked by typhoid fever, and did not regain her strength till she got home.

This was attributed by Dr. Manson to the Gaol quarters - I will briefly describe these quarters.

They consist of four fairly large rooms - a kitchen, and a room adjoining the kitchen, which used to be occupied by servants. This latter room, on my wife coming out, I had converted into a dining room to give more space, but in consequence, my cook and coolies have to sleep out in China town, there being no coolie quarters attached to the house.

The entrance to the house is from the Gaol passage, and persons coming in and out have to rub against prisoners, often dirty, foul, and diseased, being taken in and out of Gaol. From this common passage, the house door opens into a dark staircase at the back of which is an earthen ramp. An earthy smell pervades it in damp weather, when moisture also oozes from the wall.

This stair leads to two stories, each containing two rooms, with a passage at the back.
