| BrRs1SG OF THE STEAMER CALHoUS. = We |
learned last night of this unfortunate occurrence,
which took place in East Bay on Tuesday night.
The steamer was on her return voyage from
| Havana, with'a cargo Of valuable goods and had
evaded the blockade and entered East Bay, on the
! Louisiana coast, when one of her boilers burst,
| rendering her unmanageable. The Captain, seeing
that he could make no further headway, and fear
ing that il be attempted to remain there to repair
damages he would be captured by the enemy's
fleet, decided desert and burn the vessel which
was accordingly done. This is severe loss, as the
cargo Of the steamer was very valuable and much
needed, but we are glad to know that the Captain
was too smart to let her fall into the hands Of the
Hessians. ",.. 3. 3.
