The discordant note of the Christmas
season was struck in the announcement
that the bubonic plague had arrived in
England through a passenger landed at
Plymouth from the mail steamer Golconda
the case having developed on her home
ward voyage from India, and by the ar
rival in the Thames of another suspicion
case landed at Gravesend. This startling
news caused a stir. But the Lancet now
announces that the man landed at o!v-
mouth was only suffering from a mild type
of the disease, while the suspicious case
at Gravesend proves to have been sickness
due to some other cause than the plague.
Both patients, however, have been isolat-
ed and the Golconda has been disinfected.
The rats on board the steamer, which are
accused of spreading the plague in India.
have been utterly exterminated by burn
