Tins removal was made as a precHUlionary measure, that the vessel mioht not be kept an unrea- j so liable length of t«m.* m qunr.iuiine, it j beiug thouuht f.robaole that the oihceta aud crew of ihe vea el they having been t so long expo ;ed t the disease on tie?

Aud that the ollioers f and crew might us*t be exposed to any t further risk by the presence ot said \ Jones aud Miley on board. vOn February lb.h 1888 Joucs and n Suley exhibited sympt- in- cf tmall p x e with primiary fever. tOu February 18tu 1888 Su'ey showed o eruption of small pox. Jones shnwiug i: some sigis of improvemeu*. On 27Hi c February 1888 I was uotihctl by ^iguaf c on vessel that there was sickness on s tlie vessel. I immediately proceeded on ^ board, and found Frank O. Peterson, P uue at tbevesstl’a crew, sufiTeriug from and diners that exhibited all the premonitory symptoms of sma'l pox; this man was removed same day in a proper mauuer to the Pest House.I may here state, I contiuaed visiting vessel as shown by bill, up to aud including the 20th day of February 1888, at which time said veis 1 w.ts discharged from custody.'To resume—H iving tlie three rneu, Jones, Suley and Peterson at the Pest House, I concluded :t advisable tc provide separate j* quarters for those with developed small- ^ pox from those that bad not developed small pox. With the assistai ce of patients able to assist, 1 repaired and put in order, as well as could be, the log house on the premises, aud used the separate quarters for above purpose The patients got along very well, though suffering severely from vacciia.On February 24, 1888, Captain Colby, master of schooner Coarser, brought one John Logan, his second mate, that had been exposed to intictiou on the vessel, before me for examination. I found that the mnu was broken out with small pox, that lie had fever and was slightly delirious I immediately took him to the po t house. Thereupon, by order of the Hoard of Health, I telegraphed quarantee of ve.-stl to Pori Discovery, where vessel then was.February 25, 1888, 1 proceeded to Discovery and, bv order of Hoard of Health, quarantined vessel for tive days and until relieved.The case of John Logan, second mate, continued in its developments into continent small-poxOn March 8, 1888, I discharged Peterson from Pest House; Jones and SnlevlisliViili1o8IIIItlClpsiFuVlibbP\vmconvalescing.E!

I n-ed the convalescing patients as encb aids.I visited Pest house, as shown by my V1 bill, as Health Officer from February 14, 18-8, uutil February 2'Jth, and from the 20tl ou until March 20tli. at the request of Health Hoard aud Health Officer.These visits were noces-ary f r reasons shown on bill ai.d in this report.Respectfully submitted.James D Minklek, M.
