the Battery arrived at Halifax without its winter clothing after all, but It was 
issued to them immediately they got here; they were not allowed to do any duty 
until they were fitted with the clothing. The head-quarters of No. 3 Company, 
under the command of Major Brady, of which they now form a part, made 
ample and hospitable preparations for the new-comers, who found everything 
they could want ready for them on arrival. 
The “ Atlas ” is a small Cunard steamer of 1500 tons. The suspected yellow 
fever cases turned out to be nothing, though if they had one would not have felt 
much surprise, as she had been employed carrying “ Blacks ” backward and 
forward between the West Indies and the West Coast of Africa before starting 
on the reliefs of Batteries Royal Artillery, and the conveyance to England of 
the time-expired men, invalids, and other details of three Line Regiments. 
These same suspected yellow fever cases have cost the British Government a 
pretty penny, including 10 days demurrage of the “ Atlas ” at Halifax at 1250 a 
day, the cost of sending the Bermuda Details to Halifax by freight steamer and 
the Jamaica Details to England by Royal Mail Steamer. The “ Atlas ” entered 
Halifax flying the “ Yellow Jack ” at the fore, but quickly received 'pratique 
from the Health Officer as, whether she had yellow fever or not, the disease 
cannot live in this latitude, so much so that when they get a case in the Civil 
Hospital here they do not isolate it.
