But my hopes were much frustrated, when on a sudden a most dreadful disease broke out, which, raging from the beginning of August to about the middle of September following, carried off the greatest part of the Europeans, and a great number of the native mulattoes and blacks. The Europeans suffered much more by it, in proportion, than the mulattoes, and those much more, than the blacks. It ceased to rage about the 18th. of September, and those, who had escaped its fury, were, as sar as I know, not attacked with it afcer that day; but some of those, who had recovered, were seized with relapses during the following month, and some os them died as late as the month of November. Out of the number of ninety-two white people, which were on the island, when it broke out, thirty-three only were left, when the French invested the island on the aSth, of January, 1779, and eight of those were hardly able to walk.
