The Steam Boat IInnet.-Sinc recording
this melancholy disaster last week, we have
been put 10 possession OF some further facts
in relation to it. The Tornado which cap.
sized the boat was of short duration, but Of
unparalleled severity, and afforded little or no
warning OF its approach. 1t struck the boat
while al some distance from the shore, and
the very first puff turned her completely over.

ty persons persisted, the exact number can
not as yet be ascertained as the boat has not
been righted up or the bodies recovered.

very thoroughly repaired by the owners
