"Lulan" 1848 S.Uist
at least 24 died of 'smallpox' after the sailing to Pictou. They had to be quarantined for something like 90 days.
S. Uist was relatively untouched by this dreaded disease, it is believed to have been brought on board at one of the other stops in Scotland. Pei recorded the names because of a dispute with Nova Scotia over who would pay the head tax.
