lying at Naples and sailed suddenly for
Liverpool leaving the four hundred Nom
bers Of the party IN Rome.
Mr.. Loring, who was seen Saturda y
evening, ssid that IL was supposed that
the disease was contracted by Mrs.
Thompson OF Friendship, Me-, while In
Jerusalem. When in Constsntinopls the
disease had made it's appearances and to
avoid being qusrantined In that port,
the New England sailed earlier than was
intended for Naples. The passengers
knew that some Of the passengers were
In quarantine but supposed that this was
due to some fever. They had no Idea that
the disease was anything as1 serious 81
small pox. At Naples the party left for
Rome to remain feur days. some Of
them we've TO retura TO New England 20
sail for Villsfranohe, the port Of Moe.
Capt. MoAuiey of the New England
while 10 Rome received telegram from
Steward LatImer OF the ship that the
dissase had broken out among the crew
and Capt. MoAuiey fastened to Naples
There he found i've Of the Drew sick
with sms II poy and fiftsen other men In
quarantine. He notified Mr.. Clark, the
manager Of the touriss party. Clark
wantsd TO bring ell the passengers back
en- board the New En- sland and have
them transported to Villsfrnnohe. This
Capt. MoA uiey positively refused TO do.
Mr.. Loring said that In his opinion the
criticisms OF MIR. Clark IL deserved and
that too much praise cannot to accorded
Capt. MoAuley Of the New England, his
of GERS and crew for the way In which
they behaved in the trying situation.
As soon as Mr.. Loring. Mr.. Short and
Mr.. william Ingrabam learned OF the
small pox on ths New England and IN
the Clark party they separated the m
selves from it entirely and removed all
the tags and marks from their baggage
which might be evidence Of their eon-
nection with this party. Mr.. Loring and
