insurance on THE BoArs.-Thc following
statement, which VIC gathered yesterday at those
of the offices of our principal Insurance Com
panies which take risks on hulls, will give some
reliable notion of the extent of losses sustained
by such companies by the late breaking up of
the ice. 0fcourSc, the statement is not perfect
Some of the Offices were not willing to make an
entire exposition; and we also understand that
risks have been taken in several foreign offices
in the West.
twill be seen that the total losses by the Sam
Gloon, G. ". Sparhawk and Sub-Marincc No. 4.
fall upon the American Insurance Company ST.
000 and the United States $4,000 for the loss of
the Sam Gloon; upon the Phsenix s., 600 for the
SParhawl; and upon the Lumbermen and Ne
chanics $1,000 for the Sub-Afarine No. 4.
Perhaps these arc the only companies that
will make an average on the losses incurred
Several of the boats, the Falls City, PringIe
and perhaps some others, had cargoes or portions
of cargoes The Falls City's freight consisted
of 500 barrels of -four half of which, we learn,
was insured for g, $50 in the United States In
surance Company. The Pringlc had discharged
a portion of her cargo before she was carried
away.
In reference to insurance upon other boats
that were lost we could learn nothing. The
ton wharfboat, Federal Arch Bon Accord, High
land Mary and Louisville were all carried away
and sunk.
1t is stated that some five or six Of the best
boats Mt the wharf which were carried away and
were only a little damaged, had no insurance on
them at all.
The America insurance Company, we under
stand, is prepared to discount upon all losses
sustained Immediately. We here give the
