sui. The steamer was not guaranteed
and they came ashore With other pass
engers. Feeling unwell they made ap-
plication for admission to the hospital,
bat the surgeon refused them unless
they were ordered there by the German
Consul. This they succeeded in procur-
ring; and today, the medical officers
pronounce their disease yellow fever.
