Extract Of letter from the U. S. ship
Columbia, dated
Singapore, Feb. 3, 1889.
You have no doubt, heard of our rx-
ploits on the coast Of Sumalrs. We arrived
here yesterday, (Sunday,) after fortnight's
passage from that coast. We have sixty
four on the sick list; the smallpox still on
board-of which three men have died. The
ship has The appearance Of hospital. The
scurvy, that terrible disease, made its ap-
pearance on board during our last passage,
but owing to our timely arrival at this port,
it will soon disappear. We sail from this
port to Siam to negotiate Treaty that was
left unsettled by the Peacock on her last
cruise. We shall probably be home in six
teen months"
