It was ordered by resolution that the decks of an infected ship should be washed down with kerosine oil. To have carried out these instructions would have been a source of constant danger, because if steamers were regularly washed with kerosine after each voyage, the decks and 'tween decks would become so saturated with oil as to oil has a low volatizing temperature, and also a materially increase the danger of fire.
