He received carte blanche powers, and the Collector placed the plague administra-
tion in Mr. Lucas' hands. At the same time, on the advice of Surgeon-Major
Baker, it was arranged with General Cooke to despatch 30 British soldiers of
the Duke of Edinburgh's (Wiltshire) Regiment, under a specially selected officer,
from Hyderabad to Sukkur. General Cooke arranged everything with the
utmost celerity, and some long-abandoned barracks were immediately put in
such order as was possible, and furniture and commissariat were provided by
rail. Lieutenant A. E. Beadon went in command.
The following table will exhibit a somewhat striking similarity in the
outbreaks at Hyderabad and Sukkur :—

The period of intensity in each case was 8 to 9 weeks, and the beginning
and ending of the epidemic almost synchronised.
The Acting Commissioner left Karachi on the 1st April and first visited
Hyderabad. He paid two other visits to Hyderabad, but it will be convenient
here to finish the history of the Hyderabad outbreak. Hyderabad, like Karachi,
consists in part of a closely packed old town, with narrow lanes and blind alleys.
Its situation upon a hill and its dry climate would, it was hoped, be unfavour-
able to the epidemic, and considering that Hyderabad hada population of nearly
55,000 in 1891 and was now packed with Karachi fugitives, and probably con
tained not less than 65,000 people, the expectation was not disappointed. The
first local cases had been removed to hospital. The inmates of the infected
houses were all carefully segregated in a camp outside the town. The inmates
of houses surrounding the infected house for a considerable area were removed
afterwards discovered in the shops and houses opened for cleaning. Had the
inmates been sleeping in these rat-infected-rooms, the mortality would in all
probability have been severe, whereas as inmates of the camps they altogether
escaped. For four weeks, Mr. Dodgson, assisted by the Military officers and
his Civil staff, by the Sessions Judge, Mr. Knight, I. 0. S., and by a strong-
body of volunteers, among whom was Mr. Hesketh, Principal of the Sind
College, fought the plague and kept .the weekly mortality almost level. Mr.
Dayaram Gidumal, the Judge of Shikárpur in Hyderabad, also lent valued
assistance. He established a private hospital on the Native Library premises,
and entrusted it to the superintendence of the Revel. A. Canney, of the Church
Missionary Society, and Miss Pigott, Zenana Mission. By his request, also,
Surgeon-Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson took a general medical supervision"
A Committee of leading Native gentlemen supplied all that was needed, and

The weekly total of cases and deaths, imported and local, in each district
and in the chief towns and villages attacked, will be found in the appended
table, marked A.
With the exception of a few imported deaths, the Khairpur State remained
clear of plague, which was most creditable to the precautions taken by His
Highness the Mir's administration. His Highness also considerately offered the
services of his Assistant-Surgeon, when he heard doctors were required in Karachi,
but being the only Medical officer it was thought better that the Assistant-
Surgeon should remain where he was in case his services became necessary in the
State.
As already stated, the last plague cases in Hyderabad and Sukkur occurred
on the 2nd of June. The town of Rohri and the whole district of Shikárpur
were free of plague by the week ending the 25th June, though one death took
place in hospital on the 30th June. The Hyderabad hospitals were closed on the
l5th, and the Sukkur and Rohri hospitals on the 30th June. Plague lingered
fitfully in Karachi till the 27th July, when it finally ceased, and the last case
was discharged from hospital on the 6th August. In accordance with the terms
of the Venice Sanitary Convention of 1897, 10 days must elapse from death or
discharge of the last case. By Notification No. 4039, dated 17th August 1897,
the City, Cantonment and Harbour of Karachi and the whole Province of Sind
were declared free from infection by plague, and on the 5th September there
were thanksgiving services in the churches of all denominations at Karachi.
The approximate expenditure incurred in connection with the plague is
detailed, so far as is at present possible, in Appendix C. The total amounts to
33
The co-operation of the people was the main factor in any success attending
the plague measures, and the plague, though it has doubtless left many sore
hearts, has left few hitter ones, and the Acting Commissioner trusts many grate-
ful ones. It has represented the Governrnent to the people in a new and strik-
ing attitude, sending forth its officers of all Departments to heal the sick and
stand between the pestilence and the population, and the effect must be to draw
the ties closer, and awaken new thoughts in the minds of the multitude.
To Mr. J. Sladen, I. C. S., Assistant Commissioner, Mr. "Wingate is deeply
indebted, and latterly also to Mr. H. S. Lawrence, I. C. S., for bearing with
marked ability a great share of the burden of the work of the Province, besides
assisting in the special work caused by the plague. They were ably helped
by the Assistant Commissioners, Mr. Whittle and Ráo Bahádur Choithram, who
worked unceasingly to get necessary work through and avoid arrears accu-
mulating. To the Head Clerk, Mr. Cross, and to the whole office who have
worked so hard, and who do credit to the training they have received in past
years, the thanks of the Acting Commissioner are given, and specially to
Mr. Tahilram, the Plague Clerk. Upon Mr. Quanbrough, the Superintendent of
the Commissioner's Press, and his staff, devolved very heavy work, which they,
like the Commissioner's office, most cheerfully undertook.
In conclusion, the Acting Commissioner would desire to say that, if any
success has been attained, it is due to the magnificent sense of duty which has
inspired all officers. If this report fails to convey the admiration and thank-
fulness which the Acting Commissioner feels towards the very fine body of
officers serving in Sind, it is the fault of his pen. He is conscious of an earnest
desire as the events pass in rapid succession to name those chiefly associated
with each detail of the operations.
Karáchi, 21st September 1897,
A. WINGATE,
Acting Commissioner in Sind.
