Since the camp was opened there have been 35 cases of tertian ague, all from the Hedjaz, Mecca, Taïf and Jeddah; but no case of aggravated malaria. Eleven cases of tuberculosis were sent into the Egyptian Red Cross hospitals and to that at Abbassiah. Six cases of trachoma are now undergoing treatment with applications of protargol. In summer there have been a few cases of ordinary diarrhoea.

There are perhaps 6 light cases of malaria weekly, 3 to 5 cases of bacillic dysentery every month, treated with serum; 1 case of more serious dysentery was sent away to the English Hospital in Alexandria. In summer there are some mild cases of diarrhoea. There were 3 cases of trachoma among the officers' orderlies.
Four prisoners are suffering from trachoma of old standing. Recent cases are ordinary ailments, bronchitis and simple diarrhoea. As a general rule the camp prisoners look well, have a good colour and are well nourished. The prisoners were inoculated in Turkey against typhoid fever and smallpox.

Quincy placed the woman in the boat beside his wife and put the child in its mother's arms. "Lower away!" came a shrill cry. "Oh, Quincy, must we part thus?" Captain Haskins grasped Quincy by the arm.
