The second will be too disgusting, so it must stand over too; and as for "The Officials," two have since died (December, 1901—enteric), and so that chapter as well may not be written.
B.—One word more on the mortality of the Camp. Here is the official record of the deaths:—
| 1901 | May, June, July | 47 |
| August | 175 | |
| September | 236 | |
| October | 154 | |
| November | 236 | |
| December | 276 | |
| 1902 | January-March | 183 |
| Total | 1307 |
The Rev. Mr. Becker, however (who made a point of noting down the exact number of deaths each day) gives 206, 246, 157 as the totals for August, September, October respectively. The amended grand total would then come to 1,351.
