II The Captain of the Home and the Captain Of

personages, in opinion have been morally guilty
Of manslaughter. What if in the eye of the law, the
deeds TO which they were accessory are without

Why will not the authorities, why will not the nfu-
entail in society take TO prevent at least the
occurrence Of similar disasters7 Let every man in
every community mark Captains White and Castle

men liable to accommodation from the lists Of
competition in the business Of life through actions
that not cognzabe to law they will square their
conduct to avoid so heavy penalty.

meeting on their arrival in Charleston at the request

question. There ought to be law requiring every
vessel that goes from this port to be examined by a
properly organized commission. As to the Captain,
if he was intoxicated there should be no dccacy in
saving so, that travellers may be put their guard

ras engaged in race Nth the steamer
PraTie /; aud she took fire from the great
heat OF the boilers, caused by raising her
steam to us extreme power--a barrel of
whiskey was placed on deck for the use of
the hands during the race, who drank to
excess and became intoxicated.
At about l2 O'clock at night, tue furnace
became so heated that it communicated fire
to the wood, of which there was on board
about sixty cords.-When the crew discov-
cred the fire they all left their posts and
ran for the yawl without giving any alarm
to the passengers, who were all asleep in
their berlls. The captain for time at
tempted to allay the extreme confusion, by
stating that the 6re was extinguished; twice
he forbid the lowering of the yawl which
was attempted by the deck hands and pas
scngers.
The shrieks of nearly three hundred per-
sons on board now rose wild and dreadful.
