Enclosure 3. Dr. Goldsbro' to the Secretary of the Marine Department. See, Auckland, 30th June, 1879. I have the honor to report that the health of the boys in the Government Training Ship and School has for the last twelve months been, on the whole, satisfactory. No epidemic has appeared. With the exception of serious cases of abscesses in the thighs of two of the boys, there were none requiring operations of a dangerous nature. In one (Wm. Bateman) the abscess was so large that I had him removed to the Provincial District Hospital, where I could visit him more frequently and obtain better attendance than at the school. He made a perfect recovery.
