The two competing lines of . steamships between America and the: Australian continent grumble loudly‘ at being forced to manage their traf- ‘fic in accordance with a theory which places measles in the same order of. quarantinable offences as smallpox.. More than once it has happened that? the steamers have been quarantined at f Honolulu or Suva or Apia, all because‘ some baby has had this disorder. ‘ In 1874, after the British Government had annexed the Fiji Islands. a war vessel was detailed to take King Calm-U ban and a batch of high chiefs on an educational cruise which should show them the magnitude of the British em- pire. as displayed at Sydney. Unfortun- ately the party on its return to Fiji brought the contagion of measles. The pest spread with terrifying rapidity from island to island. ”and attacked all ages. There was only one medical man in the group. and he could not begin to take care of the dangerous cases in ’Levuka. and as for the hundreds of other islands away from Ovalau the only thing that could be done was to send out word to the sufferers not to lie in the water. But despite these or- ders therewas the one thing each Ei- "Inn-I jian felt that he must do when he had measles. and as soon as the rash began to smart and grow hot the pa- tients hurried to the nearest stream or even to the beach and jumped into the water. Result, what might have been expected; total mortality during the epidemic, 50,000; being nearly one 111 every three of population. Remem- bering the introduction of measles it costs £50 for the first offence against Fijian _ quarantine laws. Measles found its way into Tonga. de- spite all efforts to safeguard the king- dom. The death rate was just about the same as in Fiji. From Tonga the conta- gion spread to Samoa. Its coming had been foreseen and the proper steps tak- en. The native pastors were supplied with medicines and instructed in their use. Best of all, every town was pla- carded with notices telling the peo- ple what they must not do. It is Sam- oan nature to look upon a “nusipepe.” a public notice, as we regard a “Keep off the grass ” sign; he will be scrup- ulously obedient to any printed pa- per headed in large letters “silasila mai,” “take notice,’ tacked upon a tree.
