lie. At length he got clear but by reason of the
frc was obliged to drop into the water. lie came
up, looked for his wife, but dill not sec her, lie
then passed under the guard, and seized hold Of

While holding To the buckets the wheel revolyed
ond both were thrown into the water. lie again
got bod Of his wife aud got ahead of the wheel.
but there was nothing to cling to- aud the FIRE was
dropping upon their heads. The water was still
too deep TO wade but just at this moment some
orc thrust some boards toward them, AMI they
were saved. The servant and chillwere both lost.
;. ". ID. Cook OF Cincinnati, was on board
VIII his wife and daughter and grandson. lie
saved The hitter. The wife, on becoming aware
Of the horrible condition of the boat, told him to
save hlmsrlf that he could not save her and to

was On expert swimmer, and rushed them to the

4 few minutes after tho boat struck the bank,
when assistance from all in reach was required,
boat was rowed from sloop in the river by two
fends i'm the shape of men, who had no sooner
reached the wreck than instead Of saving fellow
beings. they commenced plundering aud stealing

life. The gordener ana coachman OF Mr.. Russell

nun Der oftis distressed passengers.
An Tshwoman during the excitement was de-
tsctci in stealing pocket-book from the luggage
OF enc Of the deceased. The property was sup

Stephen Allen, Esq and lady were on board |
and are supposed to be among the dead. Mr.. A. |
was seen by Al. Jewott Of this City on the deck
when the boat touched the shore. Mr.. J. handed
him rope and his attention being drawn in
another direction he lest sight of the old gentle
