may possibly have caused the fire, and II is
reported that when warned by boy, in-
stead Of seeing to the deficiency, he harsh
" told the boy TO pind his own business,
and paid no attention TO the warning.
His subsequent conduct was still more
reprehenslble. He did not give the alarm,
i, is said. until he and his fifteen associates
had got into the long boat and removed so
far from the Steamer as to prevent others
from joining them; and then they made at
once for the shore, instead OF lending what
assistance they could, IN saving the lives
of others.
The number OF passengers on board was
eight, five, OF whom - were drowned, and
one, an aged Irish woman, persisted IN the
flames. Four also of the crew we're drown
ed, making 80 in all. Among the q pas.
sengers drowned, were four men attached
to the Menagerle.
