"On behalf Of the cabin passengers
OF this Inflated ship | appeal TO you for
help. We are perfectly willing TO be-
quhrantined, hut In the name OF hui
manity and Of civilization, not TO
speak Of Christianity, let the quaran.
tine be- at leaet rational, and not bar
barous. We have not been sick In the
cabin except in one case, which snems
TO have almost no Cholerine symptoms,
and that occurred two days ago. We
have succeeded Ia getting tho sleerarc
away, hut the crew cannot be moved.
The ship must have them aboard. Ono
after another they sickon. Under
these circumstances we scarcely dare
nope that ultimately we shall escape.
Al any rate when will such quaran'
tine eDdp Think Of children, women,
feeble persona, my set OF men, even
criminals, leu to wear out In danger OF
cholern In this fashion. IL any set OF
people In any other situation were on
during such peril a. ours, millions OF
voices would be rnisod u rescue us
without u days delay. Why are We
unworthy Of help, situated ne we are?
Surely not because help IA impossible.
Put US on another vessel, land us Mt "a
safe point on the shore and seclude US
10 any extent, but for God'g sake do not
