Before reaching the Quango we were again brought to a stand by fever in two of my companions, close to the residence of a Portuguese who rejoiced in the name of William Tell, and who lived here in spite of the prohibition of the government.

We were using the water of a pond, and this gentleman, having come to invite me to dinner, drank a little of it, and caught fever in consequence.

If malarious matter existed in water, it would have been a wonder had we escaped; for, traveling in the sun, with the thermometer from 96 Degrees to 98 Degrees in the shade, the evaporation from our bodies causing much thirst, we generally partook of every water we came to.

We had probably thus more disease than others might suffer who had better shelter.
