Steamer Hibernia.
ON BoARD rnE HlBlaNlA, 9Th Q,

ON BOARD THE HiBlaNlA, 9Th Oct.
The steamer HIbernia met with an
unusual accident when twenty miles
below Parkersburgh. About half an
hour before dinner, the steamer took
fire from the boilers. The cry ofs.fre"
was raised and a frightiul scene ensu-
ed, and one which for alarm, have
never seen equalled, andhope never to
see again.
The pilot headed the boat for the
shore as soon as the danger was dis
covered, and If the passengers had kept
cool, all would have been well, but
there was only one plank out, and over
200 passengers on board. The crowd
pushed each other into the river, while
the ladies were fainting and shrieking
onall SIDES. Many jumped into the
river. and were rescued with difficulty.
Trunks, boxes and barrels were float
ing in all directions. Order being part
ly restored, and the luggage secured,
all went TO work 10 extinguish the fire,
which was done after one hours hard
work. Tie fire then broke out a sec
ond time with increased force, and all
seemed lost. while the alarm increased.
Z Captain Klinefel.er, who behaved
well, ordered the cabin furniture to be
removed to the shore, which was
obeyed. am +,
The furniture was much damaged,
and :. thing was left but the freightin
the hold. Scuttles were cut in the
sides and bottom of the steamer for the !
purpose of sinking her, which could
not be accomplished on account ofthe
shallowness of the water. 4, .d .yl.
