As the boat drifted down, the fame.
spread with great rspidity. A nnmbe,
Of men remained on board, and there
we're three women in the cabin. Lieut.
Madigsu, OF the Cd New Jersey cavalry
remained on board to try to1ave the
women. The after cabin had not been
injured by tho explosion, and those who
remained on the boat saught refuge from
the ere in the stern. The Lille Martin
soon pushed out, apdrsnning close ssterr
Of the Maria. rescued all Who GOULD b.
found. Doubtless . few had been Grip
pied by the falling Of the cabin, and were
| burnt 70 death.
There we're 1877 horses and mules pn thu
Maria, ell of which wert lost except foa,
] mules and one horse. There vas 6nt Iii,

commended; also the beroism Of Lieut.
Madigan in rescaing the women from the
burning boat. The soldiers have no hes
itation in asciibing the accident to the
! clrelessness Of the engineer. but they may
be mistaken on that point.
