Speaking Of 95s Of the men who are sick
and wounded, the Herald says:
Many Of, them aye scarcely able to
move some have los. their legs, others
arms. others .a again, have great testers,
swollen wounds. gangrene, DC. They
are indeed most Pitiful looking body OF
men. The officers Of the ship describe
the condition of the men, when received
on board, as one of the most wretched
that can be imagined-great wounds which
had never been dressed. festered and
swollen. bodies incased with dirt and COW
cred with vermin. Lice, which had new
er before been seen in that ship, were
found in abundance they domiciled on
the body of almost every 6llibuster. The
officers Of the ship had 10 battle them
selves in rum the crew was almost do
moralized with fear OF and actual endu-
rance of the vermin. The hair OF the
poor unfortunate passengers had to be

thed and compelled 10 be clean.

Bagley, died just as the ship anchored
and one Of the civilians. Thomas Edwards
came ashore here and remained. The
kindness of the officers of the Cyane, al
say the parties themselves, was beyond
all praise. They fed. lodged and clothed
them. with no little inconvenience e
themselves. and with such cordially as tt
call forth the warmest expressions o
gratitude. They speak we'll, too. of the
conduct Of the entire party. saying tina
not the slightest disagreeable occurrence
