HARBOR NEWS.
How the Sailors of UniOne s..
Got Typhoid Fever.
Had Eaten Muscles Picked From Poles
on Central Wharf.

Mention was made not long since of
the unusually large number of sick sail
ors at the Marine hospital and among
them were four men from the Italian
bark Unione S., all of whom were down
with typhoid fever The medical officers
were not little surprised that this dis
ease should have assumed what might
be called an epidemic form on this one
vessel for she was carefully examined on
her arrival by the health officers of the
portland so far as known seemed to be all
right. 1t appears that the fever broke
out after the bark was hauled to Central
wharf where she was unloading salt for
the Lord Brothers and after some investi-
cation the medical officers found out that
the crew had been IN the habit of picking
off the muscles which chung to the piles
of the wharf and had eaten quantities Of
them-in ignorance, perhaps, of the fact
that the sewage of the city passed into
the harbor at that point. When these
facts became known the doctors were no
longer in doubt as to the cause OF what
had been a surprising outbreak of ty-
phoid fever and traced the germs OF the
disease to the unwholesome food which
the Dagos had fooIishly taken into their
stomaohs. Another noteworthy instance
