DREADFUL SICKNESS IN SIND.E.

the fever is positively on the increase; the state of the

the hope of one of our correspondents that Governme at • will b:

have been made officially, to adopt some speedy i means Or
saving the lives of the remainder of the two unfortui tate air
panics. They can be of no use in their present stat ;e, and lb°
facility with which they might be conveyed to Kura( bee .00
surely to be an inducement to allow them that only chat ice of their,

in supplying the station with additional medical aid is 0114
most discreditable to Government., and reflects on ev't ry

and less expose:l to the malaria of the immediate neighWu 11
hood of the river, s.vould have proved a more admit woos*
than Sukkur in jecq:nt of sanatory considerations, but 03
appears very little dih;rerice in the proportionate aumber °
