Thursday II >he1ooaiesof the Italians had been
kent n few hours. a Aet~f examination would soon
have shown the cause of their death. Inc com

a consultation with the ships surgeon, DIR. Todd,
and ordered the bodies to be buried at sea.
In exclamation of his rather peculiar decision
Captain McGavin said that he had no ice, and
that he feared to imperl the lives of the paS>en-
GERS by keeping the dead bodies on board until
tho vessel reached Quarantine. DR. jenkins re-
