DEAR SIR AT meeting of the
National Board of Health held at
their rooms this morning, it was de-
cided TO fumigate and disinfect first
class passengers, wishing to return to
Kauai, and place them in quarantine
upon one of the IL. S. y. Co. g steam
ers out in the harbor for period of
five days-the steamer having been
thoroughly fumigated and disinfected
by having sulphur burned in the hold,
and her decks and interior washed
down with q solution of biclOride of
mercury.
We wish to know whether, after
having submitted to this rigid quar-
antine, under the direction of the
proper officer of the Board of Health
here, we may be allowed to land upon
the island of Kauai and return to our
several homes?
If not, we do not wish to submit to
the above mentioned quarantine and
incur the expense and inconvenience
of the same only to be refused permits
sion to land by the good people of
Kauai and compelled to return to Ho-
nolulu.
Will you kindly submit this letter
for the serious consideration of your
citizens committee and let us have
