from the wreck. William Green. OF
Providence. after being thiry.sx hours in
the water, drilled ashore on Long Island,
and walked three quarters Of mile TO a
house. when be Tell down exhausted and
nearly lifeiess. When we consider the in
clemency ofthe weather. and the length Of
time that he was in the water. il seems truly
miraculous, that life should have been sus.
tanned.
II appears. that the Lexington. had been
recently overhauled, and thoroughly repair
ed that her boilers and mac hincry were in
perfect order, and the character. Of Capt.

effort was made to save the lives Of the pass
engers. But as the Captain stood Of the
wheel as long as the flames would permit,
there was no one TO give directions in regard
to the launching OF the boats. In the panic.
confusion and dismny Of the moment they
were cast overheard while the steambon; was
rapidly moving onward. and the consequence
was the swamping ofthe small boats. The
great error was in piling the cotton SO near
the smoke cylinder. as TO cause ignition,
which soon spread over the whole vessel.
