DR. HUBBELL'S REPORT.

On this field there were many _first_ things to be done. Among these
were the feeding of the people, rebuilding the houses, cleaning out the
wells, draining the land of salt water, clothing and placing the people
in ways to help themselves; half a million feet of lumber to be rafted
down to accessible points, from the mills on the rivers which emptied
into the waters of these island inlets. While this was being floated
down, the well men and women were instructed in different kinds of work:
to take care of the helpless, rebuild their homes, and to provide
shelter and food for themselves.

While the people of these islands, in great measure, own their little
tracts of land, they retain the old plantation name for their home.
These plantations usually contain from twenty to forty families. The
inhabitants of each plantation were directed to select a representative
from their own number who should be the representative and committeeman
for that plantation, whose duty it should be to communicate with the Red
Cross, receive and distribute supplies for his people, and be the
director of the various kinds of work that should be carried on among
his people. These committeemen from all over the islands would come to
