THE STEAMBOAT coNFLAeRArIoN

Neither the Republic nor the Madison were
among the eight boats burnt at Algiers on Sunday
night, as we reported. The Aline, and another
boat whose name We have not heard. were des-
troyed in place of the two above named-makiug
still total loss Of eight boats.
Besides the towboat Conqueror, destroyed by
the burning hulks drifting over from Algiers, the
tow-boat Ophelia was destroyed, and the ship In
dependence and several of the wharves consider
ably damaged. The excitement along the Third
District wharves may easily be imagined, when we
state that fires were blazing at five different points
within mile; and the activity of the firemen may
be understood, when we state that at all the five
places the fires were kept from doing any serious
damage on shore. A lumber yard near Congress
street narrowly escaped taking fire; had it done
so all that part of the city back of it would have
gone to destruction Shortly after these five fires
a sixth broke out on cotton barge, but was as
promptly extinguished as the others.
The Chief Engineer Dave Bradbury, speaks in
the warmest terms of the numerous longshoremen,
who, not being firemen, SO gallantly came to the
rescue, and assisted and relieved the fatigued fire
men-working like Trojans, all of them, and doing
so of their own voluntary good will.
The whole amount of loss by this fire cannot be
less than $3.50 000
