Outward Sea Inspection.
The above statistics do not apply to the outward inspections, which
were under the direct control of Government and were carried out by
Government servants. During the period from July 1897 until March
1898 inclusive, the Government Medical Staff inspected 35,816 outward-
bound vessels and native craft-268,882 crew, 322,051 passengers, or
a total of 590,933 crew and passengers. The inspection of outward-
bound crew and passengers continued to be very rigorous, and owing
to this being known very few cases of fully developed plague were
found at the time of inspection ; but 84 cases of Plague broke out
among the rejected crews and passengers who were sent to the hospitals
for observation.
