AT the health officers quarters all was
quiet at midnight and the feet at anchor
off the upper boarding station was being
slowly enyeloped in a mantle of fog which
was lazily waited from the lower bay
like a pail from the pest fleet at anchor
within the boundaries OF the sanitary
roadstead. When the lights aboard nc
longer twinkled there came sharply to
= the ear the tones of the fog-bells struck
by the anchor watcn. Like funeral bells
) tolling for the unfortunates of the in
fected ships seemed the warnings from
e the fleet the strokes rapid wiUhal as il
, to emphasize the desire to be free of the
, restraint and an anxiety to be safely
moored at their respective piers.
For an hour the voices OF the night con
J tinued and then, as If the mUurnIul pro
+ cession had passed, their doleful music
ceased and the outlines of the floating
homes Of hundreds of weary
watchers within the motionless halls
! came into sharp relief on th
9 surface of the tide rushing inwar,
y. through the Narrows.
% At day break lights were extinguished
] and smoke curling from the tugs at tn
Quarantine dock served all too forcibly a
a reminder of the sorrowful round OF in
e spection that would make the sixth da
g since the arrival of the first infecte
vessel.
As the Quarantine officials began thei
rounds each face too plainly indicates tn
q dread question; What will the harves

Dr. Jenkins warned all those on boar
the Normannia that if they were foun
: sending information ashore he would nc
be responsible tor their length of quaran
u tine lie does not know yet how long b
will keep them. 1t is not believed tina
g it will be more than four days longer, a
. thirty-six hours should show how far th
@ cabin is infected.
The sick on Swinburnes Island wer
this morning, with no exception, in
3; dangerous condition. Further death
were expected.

Two vessels due this week, from Han
burg, the Scaudia on Thursday and ii
% Bohemia Saturday, are regarded as u
is most dangerous vessels now enroute
n this po.t. 1t is almost "a certainty, accor
ing TO the Quarantine officials, that d
Scaudia win bring the scourge. With d
last of these immigration from the iutec
10 ed ports will practically cease if the Han
81 burg American people can be relied up'
y 90 make their promises good.
