"A writer in the London Lancet gives
the following statistics of travel: OF
l ,563, GA persons who left Europe for
New York between 1870 and 1880, 2,518
died in transit, the average duration of
passage being 13 days II hours. OF A.
874 persons who embarked on Is ships
in 1880, 81 died. One ship, carrying
l ,331 emigrants, lost 13 in the course Of
a 16 days voyage. All were submitted
to medical examination and passed as
healthy at the start. The figures seem
to show that in crossing the ocean man
is about hundred times more likely to
lose his life by disease than by ship
wreck.
