Ycllow.Fever on q United States Yes
col.

BosToS, April 4.-The United States ship
Plymouth, Captain Harmony, which left
Boston March 18th for i cruise to the West
Indies, has returned to Vineyard sound on
account Of two cases OF yellow-iever oc-
curing on board when about three hun
dred miles southeast of Bermuda Islands.
The ship had been at Boston during the
winter, and as she had come from the West
Indies last autumn with yellow-fever on
board she had been frozen out and fumi-
gated. AS she had not called in any port
since leaving Boston, this development
showed that the germs OF yellow-feyer still
existed on her, and she was headed north,
being unfit for cruising in the tropics. On
the 3lst utimo. when less than one hun
dred miles south OF Martha's Vineyard,
she met with very heavy gale from
the northeast. One boat was lost also the
lower studding-sail boom, and the vessel
leaked considerably through her upper
works, but next day the wind shifted, and
the weather became better. In this gale
Peter Eagan, the boatswain's mate, was
buried, having died Of ycllow-fever on the
previous day. On the I'd OF April she an
chored at Nobska Point, in Vineyard sound,
where she awaits orders from the Navy
Department.
