which IS said to be worth twenty or thirty
| thousand dollars. The Reindeer is insured for
$55,O00. There were on board the boat at the
| time the fire took place fifteen persons, mostly
belonging TO the boat.
Capt. Farnham and Mr.. Williamson, a son O
one OF the owners Of the boat, and a nephew
of Rev. George R. Williamson, were at the
time of the alarm asleep in the lower cabin
Captain FaTnham did not get to sleep until
about three O'Clock, shortly after which be was
| awakened by the cry Of fire. He sprung out
of bed, seized his clothes, and rushed to differ.
| ent parts OF the boat, where the crew wero
sleeping and aroused them.
| He then went on deck and found the upper
part of the boat filled with smoke. He suc~
ceeded in getting into his office, but while en-.
deavoring 10 open his money draw, which was
locked, to get out the books, papers and money
| belonging TO the boat. the fireman came to him
and told him that if he wished to save his LIE
ne must go ashore.
| The boat was then wrapped in flames and
filled with smoke, and it was with much diff
Guilty that the Captain and fremen got ashore.
The origin of the FIRE is at present mystery.
| Some mattresses and bedding that had been
used for the wounded were put on board the
| boat IN the space occupied by the gangway
on the larboard side. Here the FIRE was first
| discovered.
There are many conjectures as to the proba-
ble cause of the FIRE. Some think it to have
been the work of an incendiary, but there Is
| nothing to justify this conclusion. The gene-
raj impression is that il took FIRE from spark
from passing boat, or from a cigar carelessly
brushed, or even by spontaneous combustion.
The remaining sick persons now lying at
Maiden are now doing well, and the attending
| physician has hopes of their recovery.
