Book Report - 1884: Six hundred
twenty-six East Indians arrived on the BRACADAILE from Calcutta, India after
having left there on Jun 4, 1884. Mr. Cropper lists 336 adult males, 127 adult
females, 14 boys, 7 girls, and 135 infants. The St. Lucian authorities
quarantined the ship on arrival because there were thirty cases of cholera on
board, twenty had died during the voyage, causing the neighboring islands to
quarantine St. Lucia. The ship was sent 6 miles to Gros Islet Bay, and remained
there for 12 days until huts were built on Pigeon Island, where the Indians
remained an additional 16 days. No mortality occurred during the quarantine.
The
Morning Chronicle, Halifax, Nova Scotia - Tuesday, August 12, 1884 : BRACADAILE
