nntine station.
: Early IL September yellow fever wa.
discovered TO exist in Ocean SPRINGS. ant
latcr deyelopcd in several other place,
in the State. From reports of the Stat,
hoard of health if is nv opinion this is

in charge of the Marine Ho,pital sery
ice. was. until the last few wears q,
| Chandeeur Island, where all ships could
be inspected and disinfectcd. if necessary

or shin at anchor, This station wa,
moved TO the eastern part of Shin Island
TO reach which ships, before being in
spccted or disinfected, have TO pass
through or by the shipping at Ship Is
land. An infected ship, in passing. may
infect this shining. and the infection b,
easily carried ashore by small boats trad

of Biloxi. 1t is supposed that by thi,
medium the infection found its way
