OF 1t has been stated that the Captain and all
! the crew of the ship Ten Brothers (from which it
is supposed the late sickness in Boston originatedl
had died. This is not the fact. A letter from
the Capt. Cobb IN the Daily Advertiser, dated
at Brewster 10th ult. says, C the two mates, two
of the sailors and himself are alive, and all well
except himself and he is convalescent-that his
wife and children visited him while at quaran-
tine and took no infection-that his bag gage was
taken from the ship and carried IN a packet to
Brewster, and neither the crew or passengers
caught the fever-He however thinks it proba-
bic the foul are in the hold might have produced
the epidemic"
writer ia the Boston Gazette recommends
s that a subscription should be opened to pur-
chase the ship and have her burnt she is not
yet removed-and the stencil from her is sensibly
felt to this day.

the symptoms of yellow fever. They amount in
