STEAMER ON FIRE.

The steamer Herald on her trip from Balti-
more to Port de Posite on Friday last caught
fire. and though but little damage followed,
there was considerable confusion and fright
among the excursionists. 1t has been usual
to wet the timbers of the vessels under the
boilers, to prevent the communication Of fire.
This. however, was nege ,ted, and whilst
the company was enjoying the dance cry
of fire was sounded throughout the steamer,
which caused Simultaneous shiieking and
scramtlng. Many thought their last day had
arrived The hands on board the vessel
soon turned the water on under the boilers,
which extiaguishcd the fire that had caught
to the timbers, and all became quieted. The
vessel reached the city, in good tine and
upon her landing at the county wharf, nearly
all OH board got Oft so anxious were they to
leave the vessel.
