COME TO NEW ZEALAND. SYDNEY, July 2, (Received July 2, 1887. at 1.30 p.m.J
A case of smallpox has occurred here. The sufferer is a man named Alexander, who was one of the crew of the Qlaslyn, which was wrecked in the China seas. He lately arrived from Hong Kong in the steamship Port Victor, which carried several passengers and brought a clean bill of health. He spent one night at the Sailors’ Home here, the inmates of which are now all quarantined. Alexander has been placed aboard the quarantine hulk, far away.
It is known that six of the Port Victor’s passengers went to New Zealand by the Wakatipu on her last voyage from this port.
