THE DROUNING on TUESDAY-FJRTHER
PARTICULARS.

The following additional particulars relative to the ca
amy in the North River opposite Fort Lee on Tuesday
evening by which several persons were drowned, have
been obtained from reliable source.
The entire party OF excursonists consisted OF twenty
seven persons. Having missed the steamboat by which
they expected to return to the City from Fort Lee Mr.
Annett was employed put the party across the river in
boats so that they could take the stages at Carmansve
for home Accordingly eighteen got into the large boat
which he rowed and the remaining nine into the smaller
boat which rowed by boy about thirteen years Of
age
When about twothrds of the way across the river the
small boat came near schooner lying at anchor and the
men in the small boat being under the influence OF liquor
commenced ieerng the hands board of the schooner
and gave buresque orders-a for instance "Stoveppe
.. your helm" put your pinnacle to wndwerd Take
"in your royal gaf &c. One Of the men on board Of
the s,hooner became onrased this aud threw stone
piece OF coal those in the small boat-the larger boat
being Off distance, and those in it not knowing what
was going on. The missile struck one of the young
wont heavily in the breast and she suddenly sprang TO
her feet when struck, and losing her balance fell over
board While those in the boat were rescuing herr from
watery grave the boat half filed with water. Ii was
then necessary that they should sit very quietly in the
boat TO prevent its filing and sinking.
The boy in charge Of the boat then again commenced
assistance. At this time the small steamer employed at
Havens Sugar Refinery, being excursion with the
workmen in the sugar house passed that way and uppos
ING that those in the small boat salung them, they
turned their little to them but not near
enough to learn their mistake and returned the salute by
ringing the bell of the boat The steamboat created con-
siderable of SWELL and the small boat being nearly
full as TO be quite unmanagesbe went broadsde instead of
bows on to the swell and Immediately swamped.
The dancing spoken of yesterday was on board the
steamboat and not on the other rowbaat, which proba
bly, accounts for their of distress not bong under
stood Miss Mary Quinn, who had gone down twice was
saved by the lad who rowing the boat
The Misses Lunt three sisters in the party, and
Eliza and Susan drowned. They resided in Thir-
teenhst About year ago the father of these young
ladies died and month ago their mother died. They
went upon this excursion reluctantly aud not until they
were assured that it to be dancing party but
simply quiet excursion OF few friends The men who
were on the excursion-or several OF them at least-be
came intoxicated and behaved very badly To this cir
cumstance this calamity is mainly owing and is but an
other of the many instances in which life sacrdced
through the practice of intemperance
