MALADY ON FRENCH SHIP.
CASSIOPEE IN QUARANTINE.
DIAGNOSIS NOT COMPLETED.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT. ] WELLINGTON. Friday.
The French ship Cassiopee (Commander P. Auverney) arrived in the stream at Wellington shortly after 4 p.m. to-day from Noumea. Owing to six ratings being laid up with a mild attack of fever, pratique was withheld and the ship remained in the quarantine ground. Dr. McLean, port health officer, will again visit the Cassiopee early to-morrow morning, with other officers of the Health Department, to examine the cases. The exact nature of the malady from which the patients are suffering is rather obscure, but it appears to be a mild tropical complaint of no highly-contagious nature.
