He was covered with the email-poz, end said he belonged to

the Dreadnought Hospital ship, bet was refused admission.
He then was driven to the Smallpox Hospital in a cab, bet
having no letter he could not, according to the existing
rides, be admitted. Xt. Thwaites, however, the relieving
officer, gave the pow fellow a letter which had the effect of
procuring his adesistiou, but the disorder could not be
checked, and the seaman died yesterday. Orders were im-
mediately upon intelligence of his death issued for his
funeral. If the authorities at the Dreadnought do net admit
cues of small pox, they surely ought to have the power of
