steam propeller Phnnix, on the lake. The tlrtc.

particulars. Immediately after the fire was de.

and instantly filled with the few who escaped 10
tell the tale Of the sad disaster The clerk, en-.
gneef and one passenger were all that were taken
from the wafer alive. She had on bhhrd over
two hundred passengers besides her crow, and
but thirty Of the whole number were saved
among these we're the captain, clerk and FIVE Of
the crew.
The loss Of life is said 10 be the greatest tina,
ever occurred on the lakes As vet there i but

The cabin, we learn, was well filed with pas.
sengers, mostly Com Builalo--among them many
females, not one Of whom was saved. but all lost.
Al the frst alarm, about O'Clock IN the morn.
ing, il was the watch Of the % mate, who is among
the lost The iint mate says that on the instant
he was out No fire could be srcn-- be- could only
smell fire. lie went down into the hold bui could
discover no flame, yet he no sooner reach d the
deck again than the flames bnrst out ut once I the
upper works, They then spread like wild.fr,
Lowering aud manning the two small boats was

all who cung to the boat had been left 10 ne1ora-

The clerks hands were badly burnt holding on

when he could stay on her decks no longer The
mast at this time was full of men who had climbed

The deyouring flame. But the ascending tulo-
eating heat oyefcame them one by one, and 40
they dropped into the fire, tiIl at last the mast

the only two persous who, besides the clerk and
those in the boats, were saved, Of all those hundreds
