FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The Phoenix was discovered to be on
fire about o'clock in the morning. Al
that time she was making good way and
carrying 80 lbs of steam. Efforts were
Immediately made to extinguish the flames.
The reservoirs were opened, the pumps
started, and all who could work 10 advant.
age were engaged in passing water to the
fire. Their efforts were continued till the
flames burst out on either side, and drove
the men from their positions. During this
time ofconflict with the devouring element,
the boats were lowered and filled with those
who were ultimately saved. 1t was at the
earnest solicitation Of some Of the passen.
gers and crew, that Capt. SWEET, who was
unable to afford any assistance, on account
Of lameness, was helped into the boat
Whilst the boats were being loaded, Mr..
BLIsH, of Southport, stood al the gangway
and kept back the cloud of emigrants who
would otherwise have swamped them in
stantly. Mr.. BLlsH was solicited to take
place in the boat, but refused. saying
that so long as there was anything to do
on board the Phoenix, he would not leave
her, and when all was over, he would take
his chance with the others. He was lost.
Mr.. HOUSE, the Engineer, from whom
we gather these particulars, remained on
board until the flames fairly drove him into
the water. With a broad axe he cut
fender rope and Immediately jumped over.
board. His fingers touched the fender,
which caused it to roll, and it was with con-
siderable effort that he finally reached it.
A very large, vigorous emigrant man
plunged into the water at this moment, ey-
identity with the intention of securing
the fender for himself; but he sank and
drowned Immediately. Mr.. House soon
found state.room door, which he tied to
his fender with his neck-handkerchief.
Upon this float he supported himself for
about two hours and half evincing

the water he was surrounded by those who
were intent upon eking out their existence

HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES
hurricane which swept over Trinidad and
Tobago recently is described in the Chroni-
Gle, published at Tobago as very disastrous
to life and property on the Islands. 1t
commenced on the evening of the 1lth inst,
and continued with unabated fury until ear
ly the folloming morning:-The Chronicle
says
The destruction Of life and property in
Tobago, known up to this day is truly deplo.
rable.
We are enabled to state on undoubted
authority, that throughout the Island, 20
great houses (or Managers houses)are COM
pletily destroyed, 81 do. do. severely in
jured: 90 works completely destroyed: 33
do. severely injured: 456 settlers houses de-
stroyed; It's do. greatly injured. -.
The general opinion is, taking losses of
every description into calculation, that the
amount will fall little short of fl5O,OO0.
The house Of Assembly had met and
taken such measures as were possible to
relieve the universal distress.
In Trinidad the damage was by no means
so extensive, although many vessels in the
harbor were injured, and considerable harm
done to plantations. No lives we're lost.
The crops in both Islands suffered to q
very alarming extent. -..

find itself without resources; no army, no arse

and miners. Those FIVE Lieutenants of engineers
like theiri captain, won the admiration of all
about them. The ordnance officers. Captain Hu.

highly effective and distinguished at the several
batteries; and must add that Captain M'Kins-
