THE WREck OF THE KATE SAEoHET.-We
are told that the officers acted most nobly
during the extreme peril of the boat under
the dam at Grand Rapids. The engineer,
Mr.. Mccain, and his assistant, stood at their
post while the violent working of the boat
in the turbulent waves was wrenching the
steampipes, and bad thrown one boiler from
its place almost on TO the top of the other.
The boat was on fire, and the broken steam
pipes envcloped them in smoke and steam,
but they stuck to their engines till the boat
struck the guard lock, and all on board were
saved. The pilct, VIM. c., and Stephen ID.
Greer, held to the wheel rs long as the en-
CINE worked. In the courage and energy of
the pilots and engineers, is TO be attributed
the escape of all on board.
