Vaccinated against smallpox, 150 stevedores boarded the quarantined liner Strathaird at Port Melbourne, to unload Melbourne cargo. Earlier in the day, because they feared after-effects, five men had refused to be vaccinated, and two others fainted when they faced the doctor. The liner was quarantined after her second steward had died at sea from smallpox.
