DESTRUCTION OF THE REGENT MARGATE STEAM
PACKE
(SARTHER raturicusaas.)
The Regent steam packet sailed from London at
.eight o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last,
with a crew of ten men, and about forty passengers,
men, women, and children, for Margate. The voyage
Was extremely quick and 'avowable. till about lour
in the afternoon, when, having cleared the point of
the isle of Sheppy. and with a view of the destined
port in the distance, a smoke was observed to issue
from the wooden casing on the deck surrounding the
lower part of the chimney of the steam-engine, to
which the application of watts was thought neces-
sary; but there being only two buckets on board, the
attempt to stifle the tire was fruitless, and the smoke
and heat increasing in the engine-linuse, the Captain
shortly after ordered all hands upon deck, and direc-
ted 411 the apertures communicating with the interior
of the vessel to be closed, in order to prevent as much
as possible the circulation of al:. The danger now
became dreadfully art.:treat, and it was determined,
as the most probable chance of preserving the lives
of the passengers and crew. to hoist a signal of &s-
-tress, and to direct the course of the vessel towards
Whitstable, from which place, at the time the acci.
dent was first discovered. the vessel was about eight
miles distant, and the steam-engine still acting from
the external beat surrounding the boiler, was a cir-
cumstance which fortunately favoured the object.—
At this moment, however, (says our informant, one
of those on board) it was imposcble to describe die
terror and agitation of the passengers, arning whom
were fathers, mothers, children, and friends, one la-
milt' in particular, consisting of the patents, seven
children, and two servants, yet for the space of up-
wards of au hour did they remain in this horrible state,
the tire raging in the interior of the vessel beneatl:,
and being only kept from penetrating through the
deck by the constant application of water, till the
vessel grounded on the sand at Whitstable, when
three boats from that place which had overshot them
arrived to their assistance, and sately took on board
all the passengers and crew ; and here, as it the hand
of PROViDeNet was hatcher manifested in their pre-
'creation. in less than three minutes afterward",
the deck over the engine and tore-cabin fell in.—
Every accommodation was afforded by the inhabitants
of Whitstable to the hapless passengers, many of
whom have lost the whole tat their chokes, others a
part, and few have escaped without wane loss, al-
though much luggage has been saved. The vessel
continued to burn till late at night, and presented a
sight awfully grand. every part being ultimately
consumed except the keel and engine, which on the
ebbing of the tide were found buried in the sand.—.
The Regent was a line vessel of its kind, and-la said
to hare cost lam) in its construction rand it is
proper to add, that the accident arose not from any
detect in the engine, but from the timber of the deck
not being sufficiently protected hum the !met of the
chimney. &dirk z:
