Particulars Of the Loss Of the steamer Collins

Particulars Of the Loss Of the Steamer Collins.
We have already published the main facts in
reference to the loss Of this Inflated steamer
We take the following particulars from the Detroit
Advertiser
The fire undoubtedly originated from Storage
passengers, cmptying theirpipes filed with burn
ing tobacco into the light wood work Of the decks.
When the fire was first discovered, it spread with
such rapidity, that every effort to check it
proved unavailing. The fire engines were all in
readiness, with the hose screwed on, and was
brought to bear on the fire in less than a moment;
but the smoke and fire soon drove every person
from the engines. In less than two minutes the
whole boat was in flames, and the passengers and
crew were compelled to leave.
The life boats which were in perfect readiness,
were reached about the time the flames burst out
on the quarter deck, but the men who went to
launch them were Immediately driven from them
by the intensity of the flames.
There were life preservers, floats and boards
sufficient to sustain 600 people, but in the fright
and CONSERVATION of the passengers, they failed
to use them, and in some instances threw them
selves into the water without an effort to secure
support.
1t is supposed that nine passengers and thirteen
Of the crew were drowncd-but it is at present
difficult to ascertain for a certainty several
swan on shore and left the scene Of disaster i'm
mediately.
The boat was headed for the shore, and the en-
CINE stopped possible, but the passen-
gers commenced jumping overheard as soon as
the flames burst out-the boats Roadway took
her to the shore, where she now lies burned to
the waters edge.
The Collins was worth lOO,O0O-had $4,000
of insurance on her, and was owned by r. B.
Ward and G. F. Lewis.

SENATOR ATCHIsoN.-It is said that Senator
Atchison claims his share of the infamy of the
paternity of the Nebraska perfdy. We should
not wonder at all if this were the case. He has
always shown himself "ft for treason, strata
gems and spoils." He has repeatedly been chosen
President of the Senate pro tenn, when no one
could define tho reason why he should have been
selected, unless it that he would treat better
than others-thatis, woull bring more champagne
into the ante-room of the Senate, and so make
that body laughing stock to the nation, during
the last nights of the session.
