DESTRUCTIVE Loss OF THE
STEAM BOAT GEN. BRowN.
From 80 10 40 LIVES Losr II


This awful calamity occurred at Helena
IN Arkansas, on Sunday last, at noon, the
25th November. Few, If any of the many
frighttu. accidents which have of late wears
happened 10 steamboats, on the western wa
tiers, have been attended with circumstances
so exciting, and SO reprehensible, as those
which marked the destruction Of the Gen
Br0ua, Captain Samuel Clark. By this
most deporabe event between thirty and
forty individuals have lost their lives from
what appears 10 be the most wanton and un.
necessary risque. From information we
have received from several who witnessed the
calamity, !; appears that the Gen. Brown
rounded TO on Saturday night, about 60
miles above Helena on a signal from the
Empress. owing to fiat boat with So horses
in II, which she had in tow, having sprung
leak The i'll fated Capt Clark took on
hoard about 80 ofthe animals and proceeded
on his way down, as Capt Russell, Of the
Empress, had expressed his determination
not 10 make any race them or ever, and the
Capt. of the Gen. Brown stated that his
boat was crippled from the Washington"
having run into her. and carried away part
of her wheel and wheel-house On the
following day, Sunday, about noon, the En-
press approached Helena where she saw the
Brown" holding on 10 her steam as il for
the purpose OF contest, but Just as the En-
press came abreast OF her she exploded with
such fearful force as TO jar the Empress TO
an extent that frightened many of her lady
passengers. On witnessing the calamity,
Capt. Russell, with the best feelings Of hu.
mainly, ordered his boat to be rounded to in
order 10 render every possible assistance.
but as he approached he was warned off on
the plea that there was powder on board the
i'll faied Brown" But Capt. Russell was
not to be scared from his duty as a man and
a christian, by any personal risk, so max
ing his boat fast above the wreck, he head
ed his whole force in entering the burning
heap of ruins which the exploded steamer
presented, and rescued from inevitable des.
lruction six beings who were pent up in the
forecastle.
Without food, without refreshment, with
out even coat to cover him, he worked
with might and main until 8 o'clock on
Monday morning, and no apology can be
too warm for the noble conduct he displayed
Throughout, OF the lS cabin passengers
(males) known to be on board, five only
were saved. The captain, mate, two engi-
neers, two pilots, clerk, carpenter, and bar
keeper, are known to have fallen victims
The first clerk was the only officer saved. in
consequence of his running up to the post
office One way passenger, an inhabitant
OF Helena, had scarcely put his foot on
board before the explosion sent him into
eternity, even while his wife, family. and
