lEITIn SrATI STEAMER WSANDAkE,
ST. lNECOS CREEK, November u, 1854. (
Commander ,. A. PdTkeri
SIR; ! have to report to you the loss OF the
United States steamer Tulip, on the evening of
the llth inst. In obedience to orders, we
steamed with ono boiler from St. Inegos
creek at about . O'Clock, p. M, bound for
Washington. At about 3 O'Clock Acting Third
Assistant Engineer George Parks, in charge OF
the engine of the vessel, said to us--Cfptain
Smith and myself-that If we would stop at
Piney Point about two hours he would have
steam on the starboard boiler, which was the
damaged one. Before we reached Plrey Point,
Acting Third Assistant Engineer John Gordon,
then on watch, said to me that there was no
use Of stopping at Pney Point, for he had al
ready got steam on the other boiler. | then
reported TO Captain Smith what MIR. Gordon
had said, and he directed me to proceed on up
the river. At about O'Clock and 90 minutes,
when abreast of Ragged Point, was sitting in
the ward-room with Acting Third Assistant
Engineer George Parks, when heard Acting
Third Assistant Engineer John Gordon call
out to haul fires.
Acting Third Assistant Engineer Parks ran
on deck and | followed. | saw steam coming
| from the engine room. Acting Third Assistant
| Engineer Parks jumped down into the engine
room and mediately returned. Acting Third
Assistant Engineer Gordon called out "For
God sake some one raise the safety valve"
Acting Third Assistant Engineer Parks again
jumped down into the engine room, and at this
moment the explosion took place. The vessel,
to the best Of my belief, sank within three min.
utes from the time of the explosion. We-ten
in number-were picked up at O'Clock by the
tug boat Hudson and brought to this place.
am, sir, very respectfully, your obedlenl
