SMALLPOX OUTBREAK
NO FRESH CASES ON SHIP. .
WELLINGTON, May 16.
The Prime’ Minister (Mr. Fraser) said to-day that there had been no fresh cases of smallpox on the hospital ship since she left an Australian port. The general health of all on board was satisfactory. “Next-of-kin may send telegrams and letters to, the patients, who are being provided with additional recreation equipment, but it is still necessary to enforce quarantine conditions for several days yet. Further statements will be published as necessary from time to time. As soon as the ship is reported clear, no time will be lost in disembarking the patients," said Mr. Fraser.
