Fortunately the boys were brought north just in time to save their lives, and the majority, after a recuperation of two or three years, regained their normal health. The primary responsibility for this gamble with death rested with those who sent an expedition from the United States to the tropics in midsummer when the measures necessary to safeguard its health were not yet known.
