"When we arrived at Kobe on the 31st ultimo," says our informant, "a Chinese pat senger was sick-fever registering ro2". The ship's doctor diagnosed the rage as one, of pneumonia, but the Health Officer, after calling in the Chief Health Officer, pronounc- | ed it plague. The patient was locked up for the night, and no one allowed to visit him, not | even to give him a drink of water, and next morning he was removed ashore. The stret cher on which the man was being carried broke, and he got a nasty fall on the deck. Eventually the patient was placed in a sampan and taken to the Isolation Hospital.

"All the Chinese were taken ashare with their baggage and thoroughly disinfected, and the ship was also disinfected. The saloon passengers were taken ashore in three batches during the day-ten ladies and sixteen gentle- men-together with the European members of the crew.

The clothes they were wearing at the time were disinfected, while the passengers took a hot bath. Every consideration was shown by the sanitary authorities for the com- fort of the passengers and crew. Tea was provided for the ladies, and cigars and cige, rettes for the gentlemen. The Chinese pass engers and the crew muster for inspection by the medical authorities every day, and on one ot two occasions all the other passengers have mustered for a similar purpose.
