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.

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

appeared. No other source of infection can be traced, and this
definite association with case 4 occurred. Septicaemic. Pro-

duty. Septicaemic. Still serious.

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
