1t proved to be a light case. and
Welsh was soon set at work serving
the other patients. He was obliging
and willing to work. and after his con-
valescence the medical inspector en-
ployed him at SIS week as a laborer.
Welsh sticks at his work, and has not
drawn any pay since he was put on
the salary list several weeks ago.
Il want to stay here as long as
can" he says. This is the first steady
job I've had in years. Smallpox has
been the making of me. I'm through
with the life of vagrant."

of from 20 to 100 tons and the smaller
ones, or casquitos. from 8 to 20 tons,
and they range from 20 to 80 feet in
length with a 12foot extreme beam,
and when loaded draw only PA to
feet of water. They are built of
light, tough wood grown in the prov
ince of Batam, which resembles teak
and will last for centuries on land
Or water.
"Cascoes are usually propelled by
a bamboo pole eighteen or twenty feet
long, in the hands of husky Filipino
river men. The poles are spiked and
padded so the crews may place them
against their shoulders to give force
to their pushes. The crews number
from five to ten men and they and
their families live almost wholly on
rice. fish, oysters, clans and shrimps.
Their pay is a peso day, about Oh
cents At night the bow is cleared
and the deck spread with palm mats,
and on these men, women and chill
dren lie down like sardines in box.

George Welsh had degenerated into
a hobo, dirty, ragged, homeless and
indifferent to his fate. Society's hand
was turned against him, and he saw

Passing from Jail to jail he served
a short term for vagrancy in Mount
Holly, and when released drifted TO
Camden. where he applied for a
nights lodging in the tramp cellar
