On the "Somali," which is typical of the three ships, every available bed was full on the fifth day out at sea. Congestion was so bad that men with a temperature of only 101 or 102 degrees were not put into the hospital but lay in their hammocks or on the decks. To make matters worse, on the eighth day out all the "flu" medicines were exhausted.
Over one hundred patients in hospital. Officers had taken over an additional building for contagious ward which was full of "flu" and pneumonia cases. With every caution against the spread of the disease, the epidemic was growing. Russian soldier seems to have no resistance, probably due to the lack of proper kind of food for the last four years.
Miss Roberta Holland meant well, but she had many things to learn and no master to teach her. Yet when the flu epidemic returned upon us, she stood by, efficient, deft, and gallant, though still imperious, until the day when she clashed her lath-and-tinsel sword of theory against the tempered steel of the Little Red Doctor's experience. Or get out. Which?" She straightened like a soldier.
He beckoned to the waitress and ordered two coffees and two liqueur brandies. Then he set himself to be as agreeable as possible to Dane-Latimer. "Haven't seen you for a long time," he said. "What have you been doing? Had the flu?" "Flu! No. Infernally busy, that's all." "Really," said Gorman. "I should have thought the present slump would have meant rather a slack time for you.
"Yes, it's the flu," he said curtly. "Nothing to do but to keep warm in bed and not move, and take plenty of milk and liquid nourishment. I'll come round in the morning and give you an injection. Lungs are all right so far." "How long shall I have to be in bed?" said Aaron. "Oh depends. A week at least." Aaron watched him sullenly and hated him. Lilly laughed to himself.
Lilly felt in his pocket, and gave the policeman half a crown. But he was watching Aaron, who sat stupidly on the sofa, very pale and semi-conscious. "Do you feel ill, Sisson?" he said sharply. Aaron looked back at him with heavy eyes, and shook his head slightly. "I believe you are," said Lilly, taking his hand. "Might be a bit o' this flu, you know," said the policeman. "Yes," said Lilly.
I said, "What about his very substantial person?" for he was colossal in figure. "I had forgotten that," said Littler. Littler told me a good story of him which Pope, he said, was also fond of telling himself. It was in the great man's biggest and busiest days. Influenza was rife. Mr. Pope was a bachelor, and his valet inconsiderately took the "flu." Mr.
Nothing but a cloud of elements organic, C.O.H.N. Ferrum, Chor. Flu. Sil. Potassa, Calc. Sod. Phosph. Mag. Born of stream galvanic, with it he had perished! There is no De Sauty now there is no current! Give us a new cable, then again we'll hear him Cry, "All right! At the call of her mother, Mary hurried into the "best room," with a strange discomposure of spirit she had never felt before.
"You see, Barbara," said Ralph, when they had left Fanny and Horry with the doctor, "we can't live without him." They listened at the smoke-room door for the sound of Dr. Ransome's departure, and Ralph waited while Barbara went back and brought him the verdict. "It's flu, and a touch of congestion of the lungs." They looked at each other sorrowfully, so sorrowfully that they smiled.
It doesn't even create courage it only finds it in the soul of a man. And yet there is one quality which will survive the war and help us to face the temptations of peace that same courage which most of us have unconsciously discovered out here. Well, my dear, I have little news at least, none that I can tell. I'm just about recovered from an attack of "flu."
