Ors from Captain Findlay down to the
ordinary seaman who so willingly car
ried babies down the gangplank to as
sist overburdened mothers. The officers

rice McNab, second officer; Peter TAFT,
chief steward; Thomas Buchanan, first

The quarantine ordered imposed on
the immigrants today is territorial, not
federal, as scarlet fever is not a quar-

regulations. The federal authorities
are to look after the people on Quaran-
tine Island at the request of the board
of health and at territorial expense.

deaths during the voyage We're due to
scarlet fever.
