Tie following is the Doctors account Of the voyage:
Ship Marathon left her dock at Liverpool Sept % and
sailed from the river on the 27th, with very stormy
weather No sickness occurred board until Oct TO-
when cholera broke out on the lower deck. The hrst
lrishman; he was seized al CLOCK IN the
morning with cramps, GOODNESS Of exremes, excessive
purging and vomiting and pulse almost mperceptible
lie died at 10 o'clock the same day. The treatment
to which he subjected was l5gran doses OF calome
hot applications stmulants, mixtures OF ether pepper
mint, nctures OF opium. Nc.
Bv Monday the 18th of October the disease had mate
rally decreased in viulenceso far that only three or
four died per day On the 9th it again ragged hercey,
wher the number of deaths average Of i've per
day From the 4th of November until the arrival in port
no deaths from cholera occurred. During that time,
however, several children died Of diarrhea.
"At the period when the disease at It's hight there
were an average of Is sick per day The total number OF
cases 81, of which "a terminated fatally Cases were
from four hours week from the time of Infection, be
fore teTmin ating fatally.
Such is the statement of the Doctor OF the Marathon
The Marathon arrived in port almost wreck; for
number of weeks men had TO be kept at the pumps Doth
night and day, TO prevent the loss OF the ship The NAM
topgal0nt mass were broken or andthe Captain reports
having lost several suits of sails When he arrived in port
he had scarce q stitch of canvas 10 spread.
The ship was heavily laden with iron and rolled very
much, causing great leakage.
The passengers in a state Of the most wretched
poverty and eth. They lodged on two decks one
above the other and the atmosphere fserously rot
ten and almost hot enough to raise blister The decks
covered with reeking filth TO the depth of inches
They hadn't time to slick up before the health officer
came on board The passengers provisions were eN-
hausted three weeks before the ship came into port
ard the wretchod beings reduced TO the greatest
want Had the ship been delayed for few days longer
the people must have starved When mustered before the
health officer they presented earfuly emacated appear
sce The foul air and wreiched food had almost COM
pted tina, which the cholera had spared They appeared
10 be furnishing aud cutting half baked oaten cake
and biscuit with ravenous avdity.
The hospitals for the sick situated at the bows OF
the ship one upon each deck Altogether they cap
able Of accommodating only eight persons.
We have been upon many emgrant ships bnt never re-
collect seeing any In wretched state NJ this before.
But We are ofsdbly informed that this vessel sweet
compared with which bring cargoos of immigrants
10 this port The wonder If that disease and want has left
many 10 tell the tale Of their wretohednoss
