taking not more than thirty-five pGssen-
gers all told. that being the limit per-
mitted by law
There was a long list OF people who
were anxious 10 go to the settlement for
the purpose of seeing friends or rela-
lives and this list was read by Execd-
tive Officer Pratt. Inasmuch as the list
far exceeded the number which viii be
allowed to go on the steamer, it became
necessary for the Board to discriminate
between the applicants. 1t was finally
decided that the few who VIII be permit
ted to go. outside of the members OF the
Board of Health and Others connected
with the various departments, aud rep
resentatives of the press, would be linn
tied to those who have not seen their
relatives for the longest time and those
who went to see their nearest relatives.
