Captain Hudson reports the total loss by
fire of the steamer Golden Gate on the af.
ternoon of July 9th, Is miles west of Man
zanillo at five o'clock. When at dinner
the ship was reported to him to be on fire
He proceeded to the spar deck and found
dense smoke coming from the engine room
hatch. All of the fire hose was put in re-
QUESTION. The ship being three miles from
land the helm was put up to run ashore.
Men. women and children were ordered
forw ard and probably one hundred reached
the forecastle when the flames spread so as
to cut off all communication with the after
part of the ship. He kept the engine NOV
ing as long as possible. Communication
with the engine room was cut off in q few
minutes. Several firemen and engineers
went below and opened the feed wales and
furnace doors to prevent explosion. They
barely escaped with their lives by forcing
passage through the after freight room
bulkhead. At half past five she grounded
300 yards from the beach, a heavy surf
breaking. Before reaching shore the after
boats were lowered and filled with passen-
gers under charge of the Chief Mate. Life
preservers, chairs and rythiDg buOyant
we're furnished to The passengers to throw
overheard. After she struck the hurricane
deck fell and the mast went down by the
board. The heat became so intense as to
cempel all remaining to leave the burning
wreck, lowering themselves into the water
with lines, and many threw themselves in
to the water from different parts of the
ship.
After all had left, Captain Pearson and
myself dropped from the bowsprit, reaching
the shore with great difficulty, where we
fouud about so persons. All that remained
visible of the ship at eight P. M, were the
boilers and wheel-frames. AT daylight the
next morning we buried l6 bodies. aud at
eight o'clock started for Manzanillo. When
about five miles from the starting point
