ON BOARD THE RE RIEVER
CHOLERA SAID 40 HAVE BEEN
TAKEN FROM HERE
The Man Was sick when the
Vessel First Came Here From
Port Townsend.

A Port Townsend dispatch to
the San Francisco papers of Sep
tember 20 says: American bark
entine Retriever, twenty-five days
from Honolulu, arrived tonight
with the yellow flag flying. Inc
vessel was immediately taken in
charge by United States Quaran-
tine Officer Simpson, who will
start at daylight with her for
Diamond Point station, where she
will be fumigated five days.
at is reported that there is only
one man sick, but AS the officers
are detained on the vessel the
nature of the case has not been as
certained. However, as the Re-
triever has come straight from
Honolulu. it is regarded as almost
certain that there is cholera
aboard. Every precaution will
be taken to keep out the dread
disease"
With reference to the above the
BULLETIN learns that when the
Retriever arrived here in August
last one of her crew was sick with
chronic dysentery. He was at
tended by DIR. McKibbin during
his stay in the harbor and re-
turned on the vessel to Port
Townsend. 1t is said that the
captain of the Retriever was the
worst scared man on the
waterfront about cholera and
was very particular with
his men and vessel. Levers
& Cooke, to whom the vessel WAS
consigned here, have nothing
from the Coast concerning the
vessel. 1t is maritime Law for a
vessel entering a new portfrom
an infected one to fly a yellow
flag, and this fact il connection
with the sick nan on board may
have given rise to the cholera
alarm.
From another source, however,
the cholera case is corroborated.
A gentleman of this city received
a letter from his father at Port
Townsend saying there were tuu
cases of cholera on board the
Retriever and the disease was de-
signated as the BLACK" cholera,
whatever that may be. If
that be true it is pass
ing strange that none of the
San Francisco papers have any
thing later about it that the above
dispatch.
The latest Vancouver paper by
the Miowera are dated the 10Th,
one day before the Ret lever ar
