ITS FATALITY IN 1866.

'Was this the extent of the epidemic p
mo further cases were reported until
after the warm lS66-a period of thirty
two years from the date OF the first vista
tion.'
The Doctor then related the history Of
the epidemic and its ravages during the
year that followed:
In June, 1866. the steamer San Jacinto
sailed from New York for Savannah.
having ON board several companies of
United States soldiers from Governor 5
Island, and a number of cabin passen-
gers. During the passage cholera broke
out among the troops. and on her arrival
at this haTbOr the ship was quarantined
and the troops landed on Tybee Island,
where they were placed in tent hospitals.
The disease proved signally fatal. the
men dying rapidly. a panic ensued and
many escaped from the island, and COM
ing to the city brought the disease into our
midst. 1t spread rapidly, and on july 9 the
first death was reported, that of cOlOred
pilot. The epidemic continued during
the remainder Of the wear and until Feb
Tuary. 1867. 1t then ceased until Septem-
Der. when it again made its appearance
and continued through the remaining
months of 1867, with 81 deaths during
January, 1868. 1t then ceased, and has
never made its appearance since"
'What was the total number of deaths
during that periOd!"
The records show that in 1868 there
were 50 deaths of whites and 2l1 colored;
in 1867. l. whites and II cOlOred, and in
1865. Is whites and Is colOred, making
total of 800 deaths in the city from the
time the disease was introduced until it
finally disappeared"
A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
st is a remarkable fact" continued
the Doctor, ''that Of the thirty passengers
on the San Jacinto, many of whom were
prominent citizens of Savannah, not one
became infected with the disease. The
quarantine at that time was UNI
der military rule, and the
passengers were compelled TO
remain on board the infected steamer
over thirty days not being allowed to land
even upon the island. At the expiration
of that time they were permitted 10 dis
embark and 90 to their homes. The only
reason assigned for their exemption from
the disease was that the Captain of the
ship kept the hold and cabins thoroughly
steamed, pipes being run from the boilers
to the interior Of the vessel for that pur-
pOse."
