Bahcii Rotten With Yellow Fever

AT BAHAI. off Brazil. the Islanders went ashore looking for fruit and found the area so ro tcn with Yellow Fever they were tossing tliear dead into 20-foot. pits and covering them with lime. Ships in the harbor were immobilized because so many crew- men had died.

Worse still. when the Islanders told their "car- pent ‘ to put tip the houses they brought with them. he got another sort of :‘old fever and charged them $12 a day for his

At least . were some dour years ago. the last time I heard. do not know whethec both are alive now or not. for Perry was ill last I heard.
