Dreadful ssanSoat Accident, and Loss Of Life.


At 8 IL o'clock this morning, man named
John Hawthorn fireman, on board the steam.
boat Catnline, lying al PecL-slip. Tie circum-
stances of the death are rather mysterious.
From what We could learn from a Iaan who was
employed TO put freight on board the steamboat,
the circumstances Of this horrible accident are Is
follows:
II was wheeling freight on board the boat,
and saw police sitting by the cylinder; there
was no steam on at the time, as the boat was
lying at the wharf the engine of the Catalne
is cross beam one, anu the piston was left up.
When went of the boat for mora freight, John
was still sitting by the cylinder. When | re-
turned was started by the other fir eman run
ming TO me and shouting cut that John was
killed.
III then went 10 the place where left John
sitting, he was not there, but he was lying, all
smashed up, under the cross beam Of the engine,
on the tep of the cylinder, quite dead. / cannot
account for The accident IN any other way than
that the swell caused by the steamboat North
American, as she came into the wharf set the
wheels of the Catalina in motion, and brought
down the piston, thereby crushing him. What
the deceased was doing among the machinery,
don't know, as he was not employed 10 oil ii
nor had he any business there"
The Coroner was notified shortly after the
occurrence took place, and at o'clock, r. NJ, he
had not made his appearance. The deceased i:
an American, and lately resided about three
miles from Newark, New Jersey HIS body
now lies at Peck-slp, on the upper deck of The
Jersey Blue, propeller. 1t presented one of tn,
most hOrrirying spectacles we have ever beer
called TO witness. The whole of the chest ant
ribs have been torn away, and the heart anc
respiratory organs were all lacerated and tori
from their places.
The entrails were also torn out, and lying Of
the back part of his person. His head wa
crushed TO jelly, and scarcely presented
feature of humanity. His body was lying in tn
sun, with no other cover than a piece Of OIL
