    Succession of “Fever” Cases on the “Cornwall.” [Severer cases in Roman type ; slight or doubtful cases in italics.] The intervals of the table show Monday nights. J I. b. The second stage of inquiry, having to do with the circumstances of particular individuals and groups of individuals, required, beside other information more or less easily attainable, minute and accurate knowledge of the inner life on board the vessel. Thus it came about that I attempted to live over again, as it were, on shipboard the weeks preceding the outbreak. In doing this I was assisted, in a way and to an extent which I cannot describe, by the Captain Superintendent, who throughout a tedious inquiry rendered me unwearied assistance. By this method a mass of evidence concerning the boys was got together. It had to do with boys who escaped as well as with boys attacked, and much of it, as was inevitable, proved in the end irrelevant. Before proceeding to deal with the matters investigated it will be convenient to state in a tabular form, for future reference, some of the data obtained in regard of the boys attacked. eO ci r, „ «a: ® »'.§ 0) .
