While the recent cholera scare has teu-
dency TO make residents along the sea
coast little nervous IL is not thought by
people who know the facts that IL viii be
possible for IL to effect an entrance through
tho Capes of Virginia. The prompt and
energetic action of the government IN re-
curing a twenty DAYS delay at quarantine
Will 90 far towards reducing the danger 70
minimum, and the jealous, efficient ON
GERS will do the rest. IL may be interest
ing to your readers to know just what Is
being done for the general safety OF the
public. In the first place, the pilot asso-
Citations of both Maryland and virginia
have instructions to anchor all vessels
from infected ports at the Fisherman's
island quarantine grounds near cape

THE VESSELS.
DR.. Thomas ID. Perry, who has charge OF
the station. has good stauncn steamer,
the Charles Foster, which cruises IN the
lower bay. coming here when short OF
coal and supplies. There is also second
steamer, built expressly for fumlgating
purposes. called the Professor hooh, now
moored to the wharf in front Of the Hamp-
ton Normal School, which Is ready for
business at a moments notice. The old
revenue-cutter Ewing was towed down
from Baltimore during the week to be used
as hospital IN case Of emergency. she
IS now anchored in the roads, and 1t IS
hoped she may not have to be towed down
to the capes. As the Foster cannot be on
duty constantly the department has de-
cided to send the revenue-cutter Craw-
ford down from Baltimore to assist her.
hhe will cruise in the vicinity OF the capes
in conjunction with the Foster, and it will
be vigilant skipper indeed who can get
past the picket line. guarded as 1t is by
the pilots, the quarantine officers, and the
revenue officials.
