Career of Robert Hartle
Obituary Robert Hartle MD & FRCS and Deputy Inspector General of the Medical Department of the Army.
Dr Hartle many years since retired from the Army, upon the usual allowance for his length of service, and settled in this Colony, where he practiced until within a short time of his death His public career was marked by zeal and skill. When Yellow Fever was raging on board of H.M ship “Pyramus” (1821/2) baffling all the efforts made to trace its cause, Dr Hartle was the gentleman who, by the most minute inquiry, detected and removed the origin; for this he was offered Knighthood which he refused (See The American Journal of The Medical Sciences 1853 p330-332)
This extract below is from the Durham Regiment of Foot Records (formerly 68th Foot)
“HARTLE Robert FRCS, born 16 October 1775; Hospital Assistant 1December 1796; Assistant-Surgeon 68th Foot 22 November 1801;(RLCarter has his commission dated22 October 1801 signed by Sir Thomas Trigge at Head Quarters Martinique).

Served with 68th of Foot on the Expedition to St. Lucia in 1803, and accompanied the storming party of
Morne Fortunee. Present at Dominica when the French attacked the islands of St. Thomas and St Croix in 1807, and Martinique in 1809,including the actions of 1st and 2nd February. Also present at the capture of Guadeloupe in 1815. After retiring from the army was in medical practice at Port of Spain, Trinidad. Died at Port of Spain 12 May 1860, aged 84 years.”

Twenty nine clasps or bars were awarded for battles from 1801- 1814)) Served overseas, West Indies 1 December 1796 to 5 May 1800 and 2nd April 1801 to 15 June 1831.

The American Journal of The Medical Sciences 1853 p330-332 part
The Pyramus left English Harbour perfectly healthy on the 19th October for St. Kitts, where she remained until the 28th, when she sailed for French Harbour. A day or two prior to her arrival at the latter place, fever, of a most alarming type, made its appearance among the officers and crew. The sick were landed, and the ship sailed for Barbadoes; but the disease continued to prevail. A medical board was assembled in order to investigate the probable cause of the sickness. In the first part of their report, the board attributed the cause, in some measure, to the coal-tar with which she was injected, for they particularly observed the offensive effluvium arising from that substance mixing in the hold with the bilge-water. In the second paragraph, they remark that the ship lay thirty-four days, at different times, in English Harbour; and in the next, consider, with respect to the predisposing cause of the disease, that something must be attributed to the stay of the vessel in that harbour. The vessel, at the suggestion of the board, sailed from Barbadoes and cruised as far as 28° north; but, finding this avail nothing, and that the disease became more alarming, the captain hastened to English Harbour, wnere he arrived on the 3d of January, 1822. The crew was there landed, the ship emptied of her stores, shot, tanks, ballast, &c. On the opening of her hold, the effluvia which issued surpassed anything Dr. Hartle had ever witnessed, and affected every one exposed to its influence. The quantity of filth which was taken out was sufficient to fill four large mud-boats, consisting of shavings mixed with coal-tar and the water; which, in consequence of the choking of the pumps had accumulated under the limber-planks. All the cases which occurred during the process of expurgation were easily traced to exposure to this bog; and Dr. Hartle very justly refuses to refer the disease to the influence of English Harbour, inasmuch as other ships of the squadron that lay much longer there escaped the infection. It may not be amiss to remark that the sick of this ship were landed and placed in the capstern of Antigua dock-yard on the 15th of January; that between that day and ” the 30th, only eighteen cases occurred; but that on the 31st, six fresh attacks were added to the list, and the disease again appeared with increased violence and malignity.” Dr. Hartle adds: “This sudden reappearance and violence of the disease induced me to believe that the people had some communication with the ship, which was then undergoing a general expurgation. This, with a little trouble, I ascertained to be the case.” Changes were made in the distribution of the convalescents and the rest of the crew, and the disease was put a stop to completely. The crew re-embarked on the 14th of March in excellent health, and remained so.
As regards the transport above alluded to, the disease broke out on her passage from Barbadoes to English Harbour. The sick and all the troops on board were landed, and the vessel, after a partial cleansing, proceeded to St. Kitts; whence, having landed the stores and baggage, she returned to English Harbour. She then underwent a general purification, when a portion of the troops re-embarked and sailed for Grenada, where they arrived in
good health—the fever not having reappeared on board. ”
It is a pleasing reflection,” adds Dr. Hartle, ” and a source of great gratification to me, that notwithstanding 147 cases of yellow fever, as distressing and malignant as any I before witnessed, have been by the three vessels imported into this island since September, 1821, we have not had a single instance of any individual but those directly exposed to the local causes being attacked.” Dr. Dickson, in a report to the Transport Board, alludes to the generation of the yellow fever in several vessels, the Blonde, Gloire, Star, Wanderer, and particularly the Dart. The disease broke out on board Of the latter in April, 1807, and was satisfactorily traced to effluvia exhaling from offensive matter collected at the bottom of the water-tanks. “
