Il Meade arrived in port from San
Francisco. She sailed from the
Coast at o'clock in the afternoon of
Monday, the 18th instant, and brought
two days later news and mail The
amount of mail brought was very
small however
The Meade was in quarantine for
tsome little time after her arrival here.
Ihere were two cases of measles among
the soldiers and it was thought at first
that the vessel would be placed in
quarantine during her stay in port.
About half an hour after her arrival at
the Pacific Mail wharf, however, the
troops were allowed ashore. Later the
sick men We're removed to the army
hospital.
There was "a great crowd on the
wharf and many people were anxious
to get aboard before permission was
granted. The consequence was that
there were several amusing scenes A
laundryman, for example, was particu-
larly eager to get on the vessel in order
to solicit business. He stated his case
to an officer of the ship and the officer,
evidently having heard that the quar-
antine would be raised in a little while
allowed him to go up the gangway. re-
marking that there were probably
great many people on the transport
who wanted washing done. No sooner
had the enterprising laundryman start
ed up the gangway, on the run, than
llaundrymen seemed to spring out of
every corner and in less time than it
takes to tell it there were seven of them
rushing up the gangway. An officer in
charge of the sentries which had been
posted Immediately upon the arrival of
the vessel saw what was going on and
shouted out to the sentry at the head
of the gangway to send the whole
crowd back. The consequence was that
they all had to wait until such time
as the public was permitted aboard
and they all went on the ship to-
gether
The transport was not permitted to
come close up to the wharf and she
vas lying away from the wharf about
six feet for some time after she entered
port
