INFLUENZA ON FERRY BOATS.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 17. Notwithstanding that the Director of Health has reported that no death has occurred on the ferry boats, the fact remains that on Friday, August sth, a fireman died in the Christchurch Hospital and the certificate of death stated that he died from influenza. A large number of sailors have been paid off in Lyttelton during the last three weeks with medical certificates stating that they were suffering from influenza. Yesterday an engineer of the Mararoa and a fireman were taken off the vessel at Wellington, while this morning the second officer was confined to his room and was to be taken off also. All are suffering from high temperatures. During last week an average of one fireman a day j has been taken off the Mararoa suffering from influenza. The ferry boats seem to be the worst, but other vessels are also partly affected.
