We, the surviving passengers of the ill-fafed
steamer Antolnette Douglass, make the following
| statement in regard TO her melancholy fate:
Between and O'Clock this morning, while w.
ing at Traits Shoals aground and the Captain and
officers were using every eNertlOn to get her over
| tie shoals, she bursted her boilers with an awful
explosion The greater part of her passengers (some
| rs in number) were asleep at the time Of the ex-
piosion which was as terrific as clap Of thunder
| ~ clear sky All was soon confusion. The
| steam rushed up and completely enveloped the boat
| With much difficulty, most Of the passengers in
| their nighI-clOthes escaped To a fat laden with
| cotton, that The Douglass had in tow II was som
discovered that the steamer was on fire the flames
| having reached the cotton in her hold and on deck
| About this time the steamer Arkansas No s.
| capt J. A. Greer, came in sight. This Young and
energetic officer heard the explosion while living
| about mile above-raised steam and came TO 0ur
| relief The cotton flat with a number of the pas
| sengers (sOme of them wounded) cut loose from
| the burning boat and drilted down. The Arkansas
came alongside aud rescued the remaining passeu.
gers; she remained by the wreck lat the imminent
hazard of her own safety until the hurricane roof
| was enveloped in flames
The VIM. Bradstreet came along about this time
and offered every assistance to the passengers srv
| eral of whom took passage in her up the river
We feel we would not be discharging our duty
il we did not bear willing and heartfelt testimony
10 the promptness, energy and efficiency of Captain
Greer, of the Arkansas No. 5. For the relief he
afforded and afflicted fellow passengers he
deserves as he will doubtless receive the patronage
OF the community SO deeply interested in such aI Is
Of dsjnteresled b5nevolence. II is proper to stale
tbat Capt Greer left his two flats short distance
below the scene of the disaster, and hurried to Mo
bile with the passengers OF the unfortunate Doug
lass.
