The Yellow Fever Ola the SusquehannR.


la pursuance of Com Kearney's advice,
orders have been received u pay of the Off
GERS aud crew of the SurGuenannG. The
steamer Arctic, at the Navy Yard, is to be
sent down TO the quarantine, TO keep an eye
on the Susquehanna.
The Secretary Of the Navy had ordered the
Susquehanna to Boston, hut as enc has no
crew, aud as it would not be safe, in her pre-
sent situation, to place one on board, it is
not probable that she will be removed from
her present anchorage, until she has been
completely purified.
Lieut.. Shirley, of the Susquehanns, made
q trip from Quarantine to the trigate yester-
day morning, on board the steamtug Rescue
On bis return he reported that two Of the
ship keepers had been taken sick since the
day previous, and that one was vomiting
freely. Accordingly the Health officer dis
patched Capt. Conklin, in the afternoon, with
commission to proceed TO the lrigute and
bring the two new cases to the Marine Hos
pital. Capt. Conklin, with the steam tug
Rescue, proceeded at once to the lower bay TO
carry out bis order, but on arriving 10 the
vicinity OF the Susquehanna, be found tue
swell OF the sea 50 heavy that he dared not
bring the tug Dear the irigate, and hence
the sick could not he removed. Capt. CUnk-
lin was ordered to renew his efforts TO trans
port the sick men as soon as the sea subsid-
ed. The ship keepers are very anxious to
get clear from the trigate.
