LOSS OF THE STEAMBOAT PULASKI, WITH.
PROBABLY ALL BOARD.
The steamboat New York, Cari Alen arrr ed ariv
this morning from Charleston, bringing intelligence If
the of tile steam boat Pulaski, Capt Dubios, will,
lit is feare) all board. The Pulaski arrived at
Charleston from Savannah on Wednesday 18th int.
with 81 passengers about half of whom stopped at
Charleston. Many oilers, however, came on board, 20
that on Thursday MOI ming, when she left for Balti
more her number of passengers, as published IN the
Charleston papers, was 1913 Tie whole number Of
persons on board including the boats company, must
have been at least $50. 81 a'fusa aeal ~
We perceive by the latest Baltimore papers that some
anxiety was felt concerning the Pulaski, account
her non-arrival at the expected time but nothing had
beenheard from her, and it was hoped she had only met
with an accident to her machinery. Vain hope,l At
II O'Clock on Monday morning last, miles S. of Cape
Lookout and about 20 miles from shore the New York
fell in with portions of sreamboat wreck includ ng the
two fore quarters separed in the direction Of the keel
and distant about mile from each other, There is no
doubt that they we're portions Of the Pulaski. Capt Al
len knew her well, and says there can be question Of
it. In the hope of discovering small boats which might
have put of from the Pulaski before she went to pieces,
Can't Allen lay by for about hours but without see
|
the point of Capo Lookout sloa which out several
miles from land, and that she there thumred until she
broke into and went to pieces If this be the parts
of the wreck by the New York must have drifted
about ~ miles to the E. s. E.. after the accident
red. 1t possible that the passengers and crew. or
part of them may have got to land IN the boats of the
Pulaski or by boats sent from the s,ore but greatly
fear the worst has happened.

As the Pulaski left Charleston at o'clock, on Thurs
day morning, she have reached Cape Lookout in
the course of the following night, very early FRI
day morning Fl svFEesfsf@@
On Friday at Charleston it blew very strong from the
Northeast. with RAIN
There are of course various conjecture started to
the cause of the accident, and the fate Of the persons on
board. Some think she must have blown up; and OF
course that caused the destruction; and they say that get
ting aground and humping, though it might have broken
her to pieces would have divided her asunder in the
| manner above described
