Burning Of the Steamer Montreal
QUEBEC, June 81.

The steamer Montreal, one of the reg
ular steamers running between Quebec
aud Montreal, left this port at / o'clock
Yesterday. p. NJ. having On board be-
tween four and FIVE hundred passengers,
of whom a maj 'rity were Scotch emf
gra~ IS recently arrived from Europe
Nothing unusual occurred after leaving
the wharf until the Montreal rounded
a point off Cape Rogue, about 1e or Is
miles above this city, when the wood
work near the furnace was discovered TO
be on fire. Almost the very moment
the smoke was discovered, the flames
broke forth, causing the utmost conster-
nation amongst the crowded passengers.
The fire was first discovered about 8
o'clock when the steamer was nearly
abreast Of the Rogue; every effort was
made to arrest the flames, and TO this
purp Sc she stopped SO as to less the
draught, but finding ii impossible to save
the steamer, Capt. Randolph ordered
her to run towards the shore. The
officers and crew then exertcd themselves
to get out the lifeboat. The flames
spread with the most astonishing rapid
ty, and in a few seconds after the :eamer
began to move forward. The widest
confusion and despair prevailed through
out the ship numbers Of the passengers
threw themselves overheard, and in most
cases drowned. Fortunately the steamer
Napoleon, also bound for Montreal, was
but a few miles i advance Of he burn
ing boat, and as soon as the fire was dis
covered, put back with all possible speed
and succeeded in Iescuing from the burn
ing wreck 1877 passengers. Captain
Randolph and the purSer of the Montreal
we're amongst the number Of those who
threw themselves into the river, and
they being excellent swimmers succeeded
in reaching the steamer Alliance, and
were saved. 1t is quite possible that
others may have succeeded in saving
themselves by swimming, but as the
steamer became unmanageable, when a
considerable distance from land, there is
nojoubt that the most ofthose who threw
themselves from the burning boat found
a waIery grave. Sixteen of those saved.
died within a short time after reacLing
the deck Of the Napoleon. and from pres
ent information il is believed the total
loss Of life BY this terrible disaster will
not fall short of from three 10 four hun
dred.
The steamer Alliance arrived here this
afternoon with 45 dead bodies, and an.
other boat is known to have recovered
80 dodies. We have not been able to
learn the names of any of those lost ex-
cept Mr.. Phillips, of the extensive lum-
bering firm of Nircross d Phillips, Three
Rivers. The Montreal had on board
s58 emigrsnts, recently arrived here
from Glasgow, together with several
German families and raftsmen, and some
American passengers.

work progressing from each end towards

Several shafts were placed in both sec,

a forge was placed. The wood work

by the gas evolved from a quantity OF
coal that had taken FIRE. Seven were
killed, and a hundred others were drag
ged away insensible. Gangs Of work
men were finally formed, and chalk and
water was thrown upon the FIRE by the
engines, when the cutting of a gallery
to the buried workmen was commenced.
There were fifiy-four men in the tunnel,
within an open space of 800 metres,
where there was a spring of water, and
four horses that they might kill for food;
but their death from the noxious gas in
the place was inevitable.
