Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-11-17

sengers and officers were allowed
who was in the steerage, was allow
ed ashore, while the Portuguese and
Hawaiian steerage passengers and
! crew were held Oh board until the
next day.
About the crew, DR.. Ramus may
, as well come out and call the crew
IA bunch of DRINKS and buns, for
what he said amounts to practically
the same thing. ! would like that
gentleman to state one case of where
the crew of any ship frcquents any
! places that the officers and cabin
| passengers do not visit also.
The general opinion of member
of ship is none too high, especially
/ in Honolulu, and think it not right
to state such things about crew
when such things can not be verified
The Advertiser in its issue of Sep
TENDER 10 called the crew a bunch
wickedly drunk and other things. l
was a member of that crew and
/ can say that we were not drunk and
that we conducted ourselves as gen.
tlemen. Another thing, whenever
anything happens on board Il ship,
1t seems very peculiar to me why
the stewards department Is always
the one to suffer most, and certain
ly would like to have an explanation
OF this state of affairs.
In conclusion, ! would like to ask
DR.. Ramus the following regarding
the quarantine of the Wilhelmina:
why did you not have the Of
ficers' clothing, effests. etc, fumi-
gated, especially the first officer and
stewardess, who handled the mang
why were only the stcerage
and sailors forecastle fumigated and
not the remainder of the crews quar-.
, tiers?
3. Why We're the first cabin pas
sengers allowed to go ashore imme'
diately after the ship was made fast
at quarantine wharf? The stewards
who looked after the passengers were
most liable to contagion.
why were stevedores allowed
on board a quarantined ship to work
!. cargo and mingle among the crew
and then allowed to go ashore al
noon and evening without interior
ence?
/ would also like to ask how the
afflicted man wos treated by the
health authorities at Hilo.
desire to call the public's atten
y = ton to the Nippon Maru, which was
quarantined in San Francisco last
June. There was n case of conta
gious disease on board and everyone
from captain to deck boy, ant
every passenger: first class. steerag'
: and Asiatics-was put on quarantine
island for a number of days and tn
shin in mid-stream, was thorough!
fumigated. do not see why thu
same thing should not be done II
:. Honolulu. | notice how strict the!
' were in regard to the Hongkoni
" Maru, where, as the papers state
. Only symptoms VI lcNtl "Ni' oho" %
and yet the boat was not allowed u
dock, while the case on the Wilhel
nina was developed and diagnosed
and yet no such precautions wer'
/ taken. would like to ask VIII!
this difference was shown.
II might say that the transpor
Sheridan. now in port, is in quaran
tine and the officers and cabin pas
sengers are allowed ashore, while tn
crew is detained on board. At tn
same time, yesterday | met severa
of the crew ashore, and they told m
they were given orders not to g
ashore, but If the officers were allow
ed to go they were going too. Whe'
they returned to the boat not a wor'
was said and they were allowed t
go on board without any interior
ence.
II DR.. Ramus will kindly answe
the questions put to him, the write
Il will cartni annregiatp It.
