We learnt from another reliable source that the employees in the Royal Naval Dockyard have been requested to avold going to Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay as much as possible as there was plenty of malaria in those places.

Dr. Fope confirmed the report that there were plenty of malaria carrying mosquitoes (minimus) in those two bays, but when asked whether the authorities are doing anything in the matter, he replied in the negative. He added that there were numerous streams in the hills surrounding the two bays, and to trace the breeding places of these, mosquitoes would not only entall a lot of labour, but also the expenditure of a big sum of money.
