Loss of the steamer Galenn.


The following named passengers are known to have
been lost on the steamer Galena, which took fire near
Red Wing Minnesota, early on the morning of the
lst inst, and was burned to the watere edge:
Mrs Polly Porter Miss Nancy Porter, Charles Por-
ter, (boy) Lydia Porter all of Michigan, bound to
Mankato aud John Tyson
The st. Paul Times Of the I'd inst gives the follow
ing particulars of the affair
The fire commenced around the starb0aTd chimney,
and of so little consequence was it when first dscoY
cred that single bucket of water would have been
sufficient to eXtnguish it but before it could be OBJ
tanned the fire had spread the entire right hand
side of the boat thus cutting G the of the stair
way. The alarm was speedily given, all the passen.
gers having retired for the night, and from all sides,
without regard to quality quantity of dress, men,
women and children rushed TO the forward part OF
the boat, as the only place of rescue.
The order was given to follow the Captain but lit.
tie attention was paid to teach individual seeming
intent upon his own safety. But few minutes
elapsed after the alarm was given until the boat
struck the Shore toward which she was directed by
the pilot on the discovery of the fire yet so fierce
we're the flames that only one plank could be run to
the shore, and over this crowded all not intercepted
by the fire. Some back of the flames jumped into the
water and swan ashore
Mrs. Porter, whose name is given above, with hei
four children, were burned to death. She was on hel
way to Manketo where it is probable she has friends
or relations residing How many others were lest
presume is not known, but it is certain there was
laTger list of passengers than usnal The books weTt
lost and what number petished can only be matte
Of conjecture.
