| and lnto that also as many crowded possibly
could, and notwithstanding there was no car to Us
sst them 1t managed to reach the shore in safety by
padding, NC. It's supposed that many went down
| with the vessel, there being no time TO launch the
other boat that Is kept on the paddle wheel to save
| those unfortunate beings left on board
Those who were thus mercifully saved escaped
OF course, with no clothes whatever but those they
stood In, and some were almost in state of nudity
Immediately on the vessel strkiog she pitched con-
slderably head foremost, and as the cold wa
ter reached the boilers they collapsed and blew up
IL is supposed that many of our fellow creatures pc
rshed by this mlshap, and that il also furthered the
more SPEEDY destruction of the vessel The size Of
the paddle boats-boats kept expressly for of
| acciaent-may be Judged from the fact that 81 hu
man beings escapedln one of them, and so close
II to the waters edge that it mercy it reach
ed the shore In safety. Nothing but constant baling
| and good management kept her ahoat The whole
OF the mails are OF course, lost and, in fact, every
thing belonging to the vessel. Sunk as she is in IL
fati,oms, and most likely so much injured by slrik-
ing so hard as she did on the shoal, 1t is not at all
probable the vessel will ever be raised The loss to
| the company, which has been truly unfortunate
since its establishment, will no doubt be great; but
the distressing loss of life entailed this instance
| Will be bitter remembrance to those who have
thus SO suddenly been bereft of their friends and re-
| latiOns.

| 1t is singular fact that Mr.. Edward Decker, the
| surgeon, was also wrecked in the Medina, and af-
wards in the Isis, and now the poor fellow, in the
prime OF !lfe, Is, without warning, and in awful
manner, called to his account by being wrecked in
this llfated vessel. 1t is also singular cIrcum-
| stance that Captain Duncan, Immediately he heard
OF MIR Dlcker's appointment to the Solway, re-
marked, but jesting that it harm came to him or
his ship, he should attribute il to Mr. Dickers pre-
sence, that gentleman having met with such unfor-
innate results In his previous voyages. The Solway
was Scotch-built boat, and this was her fourth
| voyage She was remarkably fast sailing
hne vessel, and had just undergone considerable
| repairs.
