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

sengers and officers were allowed |
ashore; also person living here,
who was in the steerage, was allow
ed ashore, while the Portuguese and
Hawaiian steerage passengers and
crew were held ON board until the
next day.
About the crew, DR.. Ramus may
as well come out and call the crew
u 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 frequents any
places that the officers and cabin
passengers do not visit also. .. De-.
The general opinion of u member
of ship Is none too high, especially
In Honolulu, and | think II not right
, to state such things about crew
, when such things San not be verified.
The Advertiser in its. issue of Sep
TENDER 10 called the crew bunch
of outlaws and ac used us of being
wickedly drunk and other things. /
was "A member of that crew and
can say that we were not drunk and
that we conducted ourselves as gem
temen. Another thing, whenever
anything happens on board a 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 man?
why were only the Storage
and sailors forecastle fumigated and
not the remainder of the crews quar-
tiers? ..
3. why were the first cabin pas
sengers allowed to go ashore imme-
diately after the ship wis made fast
at quarantine wharf? The stewards
who looked after the passengers were
most liable to contagion.
4-Why were stevedores allowed
on board quarantined ship to work
cargo and mingle among the crew
and then allowed to go ashore at
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'
ton to the Nippon Maru, which was
quarantined in San Francisco last
June. There was case of conta'
gious disease on board and everyone
from captain to deck boy, and
every passenger: first class, steeragt
and Asiatics-was put on quarantine
island for number of days and the
ship in mid-stream, was Thoroughly
I, fumigated. | do not see why th'
. same thing should not be done II
! Honolulu. | notice how strict they
: were in regard to the Hongkont
: Maru, where, as the papers state
only symptoms of fever were shown
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.
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
l of the crew ashore, and they told m
they were given orders not to 81
ashore, but If the officers were allow
ed to go they were going too. Whei
/ they returned to the boat not a wor'
was said and they were allowed L
go on board without any interior
ence.
II DR.. Ramus will kindly answe
the questions put to him, the write
will certainly appreciate 1t.
