.Na,row Escape ofhe Steamboat Ben
jnn,m Franklin, II appears from card
published in the New York papers that
thl steamboat benjamin Franklin had a
vesy narrow escape from destruction by
fire otrhtr iast passage from Providence
to New York. A wire cap had been
placed over one Of the fire pipes. to pre-
vent sparks from flying over the decks
and passengers, which caused the pipe
so to fill with cinders as to prevent the
usual draft hence, ID back current was
crented, and at moment directly after
the fireman had filled the furnace, the
flames burst out at the doors thereof with
great fury, and the boat would probably
have been wrapped in flames in very few
minutes, had il not been for the prompt
and efficient services rendered by the oili-
GERS aud men Of the boat. There were
over one hundred passengers on board
The boat at the time, was five miles from
land, and twenty west Of Newport.
