He declares, however, to the Intendants of Health, that in his Voyage, or at Leghorn where he touched, Six Men of his Crew died, but he shews by the Certificate of the Physicians of Health at Leghorn, that they died only of Malignant Fevers, caused by unwholesome Provisions.<br />The 27th of May, one of his Sailors dies in his Ship.<br />The 28th, the Intendants cause the Corpse to be carried into the Infirmary; Guerard, chief Surgeon of Health, views it; and makes Report, that it has not any Mark of Contagion.<br />The 29th, the Intendants settle the purifying of the Goods of this Cargo, to Forty Days compleat, to be reckoned from the Day the last Bale shall be carried from it into the Infirmaries.<br />The last of May, Three other Vessels arrive at the same Islands; viz. Two small Vessels of Captain Aillauds from Sidon, whence they came since the Plague was there; and Captain Fouques Bark from Scanderoon.<br />The 12th of June, Captain Gabriels Ship arrives there likewise from the same Places, with a foul Patent; (i.e. importing, that the Plague was there.)<br />The same Day the Officer, whom the Intendants had put on Board Captain Chatauds Ship to see Quarantain duly performed, dies there; Guerard chief Surgeon of Health views the Body, and makes Report that it has not any Mark of Contagion.<br />The 14th of June, the Passengers who came in the said Ship, are perfumed for the last Time in the Infirmaries; and are allowed to enter the City as usual.</p><p>The 23d, being the Eve of St. John Baptist, the Grand Prior arrives at Genoa with the Kings Gallies; the Sheriffs have the Honour to welcome him, and I to make a Speech to him in the Name of the City.<br />The same Day a Cabbin-Boy of Captain Chatauds Ship, a Servant employed at the Infirmaries in purifying the Goods of that Ship, and another who was purifying those of Captain Gabriels Ship, fall sick; the same Surgeon makes Report that they have not any Mark of Contagion.<br />The 24th, another Servant employed to purify Captain Aillauds Goods, falls sick likewise; is visited, and the same Report made.<br />The 24th, and 26th, all Four dye one after another; their Bodies are viewed, and Report made that they have not any Mark of Contagion.<br />Notwithstanding the Reports thus made, the Intendants consult and resolve by way of Precaution to cause all these Bodies to be buried in Lime; to remove from the Island of Pomegué the Ships of the Captains Chataud, Aillaud, and Gabriel, and send them to a distant Island called Jarre, there to begin again their Quarantain; and to inclose the Yard where their Goods are purifying in the Infirmaries, without suffering the Servants employed to air them, to come out.<br />The 28th of June, another Vessel, being Captain Gueymarts Bark, from Sidon, arrives at the foresaid Islands with a foul Patent.<br />The 1st of July, the Intendants pass a Resolution, to cause all the Vessels which were come with foul Patents, to Anchor at a good Distance off the Island of Pomegué.<br />The 7th of July, two more Servants shut up to purify in the Infirmaries the Goods brought by Captain Chataud, fall sick; the Surgeon finds Tumours in their Groyns, and says in his Report that he does not believe however it is the Plague: He pays for his Incredulity, perhaps for not right understanding the Distemper, by dying himself soon after, with part of his Family.</p><p>The 8th, another Servant falls sick; the Surgeon finds a Swelling in the upper Part of the Thigh, and then declares he takes it to be a Mark of Contagion, and desires a Consultation.<br />Immediately the Intendants call three other Master Surgeons to visit the said Servants; their Report is, that they have all certainly the Plague.<br />The 9th those Patients dye, they are buried in Lime, and all their Apparel is burnt.<br />The Intendants resolve to cause all the Goods of Captain Chatauds Cargoe, to be taken out of the Infirmaries, and sent to be purified on the Island of Jarre; and they repair to the Town-House to acquaint the Sheriffs with what has passed.<br />The Matter appearing to be of Consequence, they write about it to the Council of Marine, and to the Marshal Duke de Villars, Governor of Provence; and M. Estelle, one of the chief Sheriffs, with two Intendants of Health, are deputed to go to Aix to give an Account of it to M. Lebret, first President of the Parliament and Intendant of Justice and of Commerce.<br />The same Day, M. Peissonel, and his Son, Physicians, come to the Town-House, to give Notice to the Sheriffs, that having been called to a House in the Square of Linche, to visit a young Man named Eissalene, he appeared to them to have the Plague.<br />That Instant, Guards are sent to the Door of that House, to hinder any one from coming out of it.<br />The 10th of July that Patient dies, and his Sister falls sick; the Guard is doubled; and it being judged proper to carry both off; to do it the more quietly, and without alarming the People, it is delayed till Night; when at Eleven a Clock M. Moustier, another of the chief Sheriffs, repairs thither without Noise, sends for Servants from the Infirmaries, encourages them to go up into the House, and they having brought down the Dead and the Sick, he orders them to carry them in Litters without the Town to the Infirmaries, causes all Persons belonging to the House to be conducted thither likewise, accompanies them himself with Guards, that none might come near them, and then returns to see the Door of the House closed up with Mortar.<br />The 11th Notice is given, that one Boyal is fallen sick in the same Quarter of the Town, Physicians and Surgeons are sent to visit him; they declare he has the Plague, his House is instantly secured by Guards, and when Night is come M. Moustier goes thither, sends for the Buriers of the Dead from the Infirmaries, and finding the Patient was newly dead, causes them to take the Corpse, accompanies it, sees it interred in Lime, and then returns to remove all the Persons of that House to the Infirmaries, and the Door to be closed up.<br />The 12th all this is told to the Grand Prior, who still remains at Marseilles; the first President is writ to; the Intendants of Health are assembled, to cause all the Vessels come from the Levant, with foul Patents, to go back to the Island of Jarre, and all their Goods that remain in the Infirmaries to be removed thither likewise: M. Audimar, one of the Sheriffs, presided in their Assembly, to influence them to pass.
