stepping upon the bottom of an upset boat,
from which he was taken by another boat
which approached him.
About half past nine, last evening, the quar-
antine boat, and also row boat, returned to
the city with about thirty of the Oceans pas
sengers.
Captain S. B. Hussey, Of ship Westward
Ho, had Just arrived from Calcutta, and had
not come to anchor, when, being in his cabin,
he heard his pilot exclaim, : Captain Hussey,
a ships on fire." Thinking for the moment
that the pilot meant his own ship. he rushed
on deck, and instantly observed the Ocean in
flames nearly abreast of him. Like a true
and noble hearted seaman, he promptly or
dered over his gig, and with five of his men,
were forthwith pulling for the Inflated steam
er, and succeeded in picking up fourteen per-
sons and placing them in his fraiI gig, and
afterwards placed them safely OH board the
Boston.
Capt. Hussey, not being we'll supplied with
female wearing apparel, furnished the females
with the hest dry and clean male attire which
he had, for which they seemed, and undOubted-
ly were deeply grateful.
Among the passengers by the Ocean was L.
Mooers, a merchant Of HaIoweI He had
goods On board worth about $400. He was a
man 65 years of age, and never insured any
goods, although he had sent a large amount
yearly by the steamer. A firm OF whom he
purchased about $400 worth of w. l. goods
advised him yesterday afternoon to get them
insured. He laughed. and said, No, never
insure. Daring the afternoon, however, they
obtained insurance on them without his know J.
edge, and this morning he informed that
he had not lost, as he supposed, by the disaster.
One lady board the Ocean, with great
presence Of mind, seized an egg box lifted il
over the rail of the vessel, threw il overheard,

Capt Stone of the Canada, says that the

of the Canada boats and taken on board that
vessel, informed him that there were on board
the Ocean several barrels of spirits of turpen-
tine or camphene. These barrels were proba-
bly, stove by the collision, and their infamable
contents being scattered about the decks will
account for the instantaneous spread Of the
flames.
