The s.s. "Mount Temple" arrived from Canada on the 3rd November.
Amongst the passengers were a man, his wife and three children, who had
proceeded to Canada from Antwerp.
They had been prevented from landing there by the Immigration
Authorities because the man suffered with Epilepsy, and were accordingly
returned viâ London.
During the voyage one of the children was found to be suffering with
Measles, and the mother and children were landed at Denton Hospital. They
were kept there until the child was convalescent, when, after thorough
disinfection, they were handed over to the shipping company and conveyed
to Antwerp.
