They had been discharged from the hospital as cured; but in some way or other they had carried the germs of the disease so that going in and out of the wigwams they spread the contagion among the natives, and an epidemic broke out. This strange new disease terrified the people. At that time I had parties of Indians at Oomeme River, and also at Berens River, where we were then living.
Their fear of this strange new disease left them, and they became patient and hopeful. The result was, that while among the pagan Indians at Oomeme River there were many deaths, not one of our Christian Indians died. When the last case was cured and the disease had disappeared, we took stock of our supplies.
Here, on improvised beds and couches, we gathered about us the afflicted ones, making them as comfortable as our limited means would allow. Over at Oomeme River, our Christian Indians fortunately escaped; but the pagan Indians, among whom the disease broke out, were wild with fear, and in many cases acted in a manner to aggravate the disease.
