AS was reported in the shipping
notes of the Press yesterday, some OF
the crew of the Norwegian bark Low
spring were afflicted with the scurvy.
Two of the sailors who were affected
were sent to the Hospital yesterday
morning. The ships carpenter, who is
in very pitiful condition, is still on the
vessel. He was taken sick when the
Vessel was ninety days out from New
York, and has been in an almost help
less condition ever since. He presents
most ghastly sight. His limbs are in
fearful condition, as are also his feet.
His tongue is swollen to about twice

out.

yesterday morning that the fire-bell
ringer set good example yesterday
morning, which the people hope he will
follow the rest of the year; that the

writing has at last reached Honolulu

their generation say the least.
