The vessel was torn TO pieces. The hulls, so
much of il remained, sank in three quarters OF
an hour The escape of the Captain of the vessel,

he was picked up almost unhurt.
Six lives were lost outright by this fearful acc

Five, six seven, &c, died in day. Then the
citizens hurried away by the thousands leaving

its attacks. Twenty, and many as thirty died

render Portsmouth one of the most intensely af.

cred number of fragments of petrifed bones,
some of which formed complete bone eight in

sequently other fossiliferous rocks found
tanning similar bony fragments. The bones
exhuned thus far. says the Springfield Re-

regarded portions of skeleton, whether of

the discovery will be of the highest value, and it
will tend to convert European sayans who arc 10th
to agree with President Hitchcock in his conclu-
sonS relative to tho formations of the Connecticut
valley, because, as they claim, bones have yet
beon discovered to establish his theory based on
the bird tracks" The whole matter, however is
to be Investigated soon by Mr.. Hitchcock and Pro
