recovered The last named was Chilian gen
tleman of wealth and standing in Valparaiso
finding himself driven into the waves by the
flames, he turned to a few who were about him
and offered $4,000 to any person who would
assist him to save his life, but in such moment
none could think Of the offer; seeing that his
end was near. Senor LARGO said s. Farewell! It
g only oncep' and plunged into the water; he
was quickly drowned
The body of Martin O'Meara, an Irishman
was also lost; he had many friends in NewOr-
| leans DIR. Shaw, who was among the passen-
gers, went back to Mexico by the way of La
paz and Mazatlan; he was carried out by the
under tow of the surf beyond the steamer, but
| eventually reached the shore by incredible ex-
| ertions. When he had landed he threw himself
upon the beach, and wept like a child. After
| the Independence swung round broadsde to the
beach, her coal took fire, and the sight will
| long be remembered by those who saw it, The
| mass of coal became thoroughly ignited and
seen through the blackened ribs of the ship /;
| it gave her the appearance of gigantic crate
Of coal-fre. We shall furnish our readers with
still further interesting particulars respecting

paper. We shall hold our columns open for
communications from the passengers who may

renee will be thoroughly investigated by the
pr bile authorities, as in the of the Lexing-
ton, in 1888, and in that of the Reindeer and
Henry Clay in later years. A large number Of
fellow beings have been suddenly cut of from
existence by the terrible agency of fire and
shipwreck OF the cause of this lamentable dis
aster we are not yet prepared to speak. W.
hope, however, that in the investigation about
to be made, nothing may be elected to mar the
confidence of the public in the probity Of the
Vanderbilt line, or the capability Of Captain
Sampson and his officers Ns

evidence shall dictate In our opinion, want o
