place. Arcega's steamer Henrietta, then at
landing, came at once to the scene of the dis
aster, and extended all relief practicable un
der the circumstance soon utter the Gem

the Henrietta the wounded, and brought
them to the ely. The list of killed, so far as
ascerlaiued is as follows: Captain W Wehster,
