ARRIVAL OF THE SHIP TYBURNIA, CAPT. COATE, FROM ENGLAND, WITH EMIGRANTS. — THE SMALL-POX ON BOARD.
The ‘Tyburnia’ arrived yesterday from London with immigrants, and we regret to say that a number of cases of small pox have occurred during the voyage, which will render it necessary for her to be placed in quarantine. The 'Tyburnia' was signalled yesterday morning, and Mr. Pilot Burgess went off and found her anchored off Rangitoto. On nearing the vessel, however, he was informed that some of the passengers had been attacked with small pox. At the request of Mr. Burgess, the Captain threw overboard a bottle, enclosing a report of the voyage, from which particulars were obtained which will be found in our shipping report. It appears that the 'Tyburnia' left Gravesend on the 2nd June, and that the small pox broke out ten days after her departure. Thirty-five cases had occurred, nine of which only were serious, and there had been one death, that of a male adult, fifty years of age. It is satisfactory to know that the last case occurred on the 22nd of last month, since which the disease has subsided. Of course the greatest precautions will be taken to prevent any one visiting the vessel or leaving it. The 'Tyburnia' is to be brought up as far as Rangitoto passage this morning, and it is proposed to establish a quarantine ground for her near the reef. It is absolutely necessary for the safety of the community that no attempt should be made to board the vessel. Persons having friends on board might be induced to attempt to do so, through ignorance, but we would warn them of the heavy penalties they are liable to for infringement of the quarantine regulations. It is impossible yet to say how long it will be necessary, to keep the 'Tyburnia' in quarantine. It is to be hoped that her detention will not be of long duration, but in the mean time the greatest precaution is necessary. We are informed that the 'Tyburnia' has about 400 passengers on board, principally non-conformist settlers. -
While on this subject we may say that there has been a meeting of the medical men in Mel-bourne, at which re-vaccination was recommended, when the vaccine cicatrix was not perceptible on the arm; but it was not to be done compulsorily. At the same time we may state that there was a degree of quackery about this recommendation, which called forth some adverse criticism from the Melbourne press. It occurred about the commencement of the last month; and the case of the ' Tyburnia' brings it to mind. We need hardly call attention to the precautions which have been taken in all the Australian colonies, and at Otago. The maxim of "prevention is better than cure" could not be better applied, than in our case.
Check the names carefully against the newspaper, as interpretation is difficult at times. They have been set out exactly as recorded in the 'Daily Southern Cross' of 28 September, 1863, Page 2.
