The same Day a Cabbin-Boy of Captain _Chataud_'s Ship, a Servant employed at the Infirmaries in purifying the Goods of that Ship, and another who was purifying those of Captain _Gabriel_'s Ship, fall sick; the same Surgeon makes Report that they have not any Mark of Contagion.
The 24th, another Servant employed to purify Captain _Aillaud_'s Goods, falls sick likewise; is visited, and the same Report made.
The 24th, and 26th, all Four dye one after another; their Bodies are viewed, and Report made that they have not any Mark of Contagion.
Notwithstanding the Reports thus made, the Intendants consult and resolve by way of Precaution to cause all these Bodies to be buried in Lime; to remove from the Island of _Pomegué_ the Ships of the Captains _Chataud_, _Aillaud_, and _Gabriel_, and send them to a distant Island called _Jarre_, there to begin again their Quarantain; and to inclose the Yard where their Goods are purifying in the Infirmaries, without suffering the Servants employed to air them, to come out.
The 28th of _June_, another Vessel, being Captain _Gueymart_'s Bark, from _Sidon_, arrives at the foresaid Islands with a foul Patent.
The 1st of _July_, the Intendants pass a Resolution, to cause all the Vessels which were come with foul Patents, to Anchor at a good Distance off the Island of _Pomegué_.
The 7th of _July_, two more Servants shut up to purify in the Infirmaries the Goods brought by Captain _Chataud_, fall sick; the Surgeon finds Tumours in their Groyns, and says in his Report that he does not believe however it is the Plague: He pays for his Incredulity, perhaps for not right understanding the Distemper, by dying himself soon after, with part of his Family.
The 8th, another Servant falls sick; the Surgeon finds a Swelling in the upper Part of the Thigh, and then declares he takes it to be a Mark of Contagion, and desires a Consultation.
Immediately the Intendants call three other Master Surgeons to visit the said Servants; their Report is, that they have all certainly the Plague.
The 9th those Patients dye, they are buried in Lime, and all their Apparel is burnt.
The Intendants resolve to cause all the Goods of Captain _Chataud_'s Cargoe, to be taken out of the Infirmaries, and sent to be purified on the Island of _Jarre_; and they repair to the Town-House to acquaint the Sheriffs with what has passed.
