What a fearful calamity! And what
a scene! And yet all were wonderfully
calm. Had it happened two or three
hours later. the loss of life might have
been fearful indeed. There was quite
u crowd of passengers, So great that
several beds were spread Oh the cabin
floor.
Three or four of us were sitting to-
gether talking, by the clerks office,
when the alarm vas given. On look
ing round, we observed smoke gather
ing in the ladies' cabin. Numbers ran
back to arouse the ~sleepers, and it was
supposed all were aroused. But it
seems that the young couple, but two
weeks married, and apparently barely
of age, must-have slept too soundIy to
hear the alarm given. All that is known
is that they cannot be found. There is,
of course, a probability that they may
have got out on the guards and jumped

up below. God grant that it may be
So.
