Ascension May 1823 arrived from the coast of Africa with most of the officers and crew suffering from yellow fever, of which about one third of the 107 European officers and men onboard on 31 Mar are stated to have died, including the commanding officer, Captain Saumarez ; there also appear to have been 29 Kroomen onboard, who were not affected ; it is also contended that the disease was communicated to the garrison ashore, where 16 out of the 22 men died, excluding members of their families, [which perhaps suggests that this may have been Yellow Jack along with something else - as far as I know this desease is communicated by the mosquito and isn't contageous in the normal sense of the word].
