MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS
CASES ON BRITISH LINER. PRECAUTIONS AT PLYMOUTH. LONDON, March 31. Cases of mysterious illness on the Stratheden resulted in the strictest precautions being taken on the arrival of the liner at Plymouth. The Purser’s assistant was put ashore at Malta, apparently suffering from typhoid. A passenger, Charles Newby, of London, died during the voyage. The death was officially attributed to heart failure and he was buried at sea. Other passengers and members of the crew showed feverish symptoms. Only Customs and medical officials were permitted on board at Plymouth until a dozen invalids had been examined, but when the doctors were satisfied that there were no virulent cases some visitors were allowed to go aboard. The passengers, on landing, were medically inspected.
