Of the mail ought not be made charge

On the 5th Of February, 1855. about o'clock

asceriained to be but too true. The second mate,
who acted as steward, had gone into the state

and, instead OF giving the alarm, endeavored to

tar. pitch, spirits, straw. &C. As som as the
alarm was given, the deck was scuttled and wa.

the progress Of the all G.vouring element. but to
no purpose; in less than two hours all hopes of
saving either ship or cargo was abandoned, as the
between decks and lower holds were full OF
smoke, and the flames were breaking through be.

boats to be launched, which was done. Giving

Now shrieked the tmid,

There were ESQ souls on board, and the boats

they were filled in moment. and dropped astern.
