Bank. IThe hospital ship Olivette, which ha* been lying near the quarantine station at Fcrnandiua, Fla., through some mysterious agency sank. Aboard of the ship were the hospital corps of thirty-five and a crew of forty-five persons, all of whom escaped without injury, but in scanty attire. The roustabouts sleeping in the lower hold had a narrow escape, being driven from their bunks like so many rats. Fortunately for those on board, there was a schooner near by, and some of them took shelter on her, while others sought refuge at the quarantine station. The Olivette went down in about thirty feet of water, her main deck being submerged. No one apparently knows how the calamity could have occurred. Vessels in the harbor will probably pump her out, if such a thing is possible.
