Wari Bunder, and in the shed on the Malet Bunder formerly used for
the inspection of the Mecca pilgrims, which at this time was not in use,
owing to the total prohibition of the pilgrim traffic by the Government
of India.
Persons so detained, who had come from places only slightly, if at

discharged if their temperature fell to normal.
Passengers from Kolaba, where the plague had been severe in
parts, were all, whether their temperature was normal or not, kept under
observation for five days ; while passengers from Cutch Mandvi, where
the plague had been more severe than in any other place were kept
under observation for eight days.
Persons developing plague in camps of observation were sent to
one of the Government Plague Hospitals. If they wished to be sent to
one of their own caste hospitals, this was permitted ; it having been
