to remain a week or more. He had
read Agent d. Dayton's report in the

of small pOx, but afterwards turned
out to be herpes, had been discovered
at the Honokaa plantation. Quaran-
tine had at once been established by
DIR. Greenfield, and the danger was
now over. Considerable excitement
had been caused by the rumor leaking
out that small poX had broken out.

licemen who brought lepers down
