The Memphis Ledger states that when the Penn
sylvania exploded, Capt KIinefelter, who in the
barber shop at the time, ordered the anchor cast It
was done, but the line parted and wood boat was
hauled alongside. into which many of the wounded
were placed, aud were towed down TO Austin by the
steamer Imperial The Kate Frisbee came along
about O'Clock in the morning. The Ledger says:
The scene during the evening and night on the
Kate Frisbee, OF most appalling character The
whole cabin, from stem to stem, was thronged with
the dead wounded and dying. You could scarcely
look around without seeing as 1t were, some strangely
distorted figure, bearing the human form, gasping
with the death rattle In his throat. Alas the appa-
rently silent horror Of death seemed as II only
sionaly relieved by the shrek OF some more acute
and less deadened sufferer As they died they were
taken out the guards and laid out with every care
and attention
The Frisbee, though having done but her duty, has
done it most nobly When Capt. Mason learned OF
complimentary resolution, in reference to the noble
conduct OF himself and officers as well as passen.
gers he simply stated that he and they had but done
their duty for which they but deserve the respect Of
humanity, yet all must feel and testify to the unpar
aleed generosity, kindness and attention OF both the
officers and passengers. Everything was Us free as
the water that flowed down the Mississippi, and
every possible attention was given to those whose
necessities required it. A collection was taken up
amounting to near ole hundred and fifty dollars, all
of which will be properly distributed among those
who may most need human aid.
The following is list of the killed and wounded,
far ascertained The Pennsylvania it thought,
had about $50 passengers on board
