" AN ACsoh
had not at the time careened over in the
least degree, but that she set trim on the
water.
All speak in terms Of praise of F.
Woodruff, who, though not a physician,
was especially active in taking care of the
manned and wounded.
DR.. Bates, of Nevada, who was a pas
senger on the Chrysopolis, after the arri-
val of that boat, did all in his power to
alleviate the sufferings of the wounded.
Coroner Reeves held several inquests
over dead bodies taken to his rooms, but
the testimony taken was directed toward
Identification of the deceased, rather than
the cause of death. II is probable some
investigation Of the cause Of explosion
will be had as soon as the proper wit
nesses arrive in the city. So far as can be
learned, there appears to be no theory ad-
vanced as to the cause of the explosion.
The engineer asserts that there was a full
supply of water in the boilers, and that
the head Of steam was much less than
the maximum amount allowed. n.
OF the sixteen patients taken to the
Court House in the morning, four died
during the day, and it is feared that Of the
twelve who remain, a majority will die.
Soon after the explosion occurred, Capt.
Taylor sent a messenger from Rio Vista
to Suisun with a dispatch to Benicia, d.
recting the Stockton boat to return to Rio
Vista and take down the San Francisco
passengers. The message did not reach
Benicia in time, and consequently those
who remained at Rio Vista were detained
there until the Chrysopolis touched at
that point last evening.
The steamer Goliah was dispatched,
yesterday, from San Francisco, to tow
down the wreck Of the Yosemite to that
city.
AS the Chrysopolis, Mt 6 o'clock last
night, on her downward trip, passed
along side of the wreck Of the Yosemite,
at Rio Vista, the latter appeared merely
as if she had lost only a that portion Of
her upper works forward of her smoke
stack.
The explosion demolished the guards,
threw out the Pilot house, Captains
Office, bar and Clerks office.
The Yosemite left Rio Vista last even
ing, in tow of the C~hrysopolis, for San
Francisco.

land, agent Bank British North America;

persons were taken to San Francisco last
night those of the Chinese will remain at
Rio Vista and will be inferred to-day.

Co., of San Francisco, and formerly of
Virginia City, is still missing. No trace
whatever can be found Of his body as yet.

Der. Steven T. Gage, of Virginia City,
New, had his right hand badly cut and
is bruised on the head; has gone to San
Francisco. Captain Poole was in his
usual place in making the landing, which
is on the hurricane deck forward, directly
over the smoking saloon. He was thrown
into the air, and the next thing he remem-
bers was that he found himself forward on
the promenade deck, giving orders. He
had in his right hip pocket, when he went
up, about $3.50, and in his right vest
pocket q gold magic-cased watch. When
he came down he hadn't either money or
watch, and the only portion Of the watch
he has been able to find is the small circu-
lar rim which held the crystal, and that
was found among the ruins which were
deposited on the site of the barber shop.
Steven T. Gage, Of Virginia City, wal
standing on the upward forward deck
when he went up. He says he recognized,
while in the air, the pilot Of the boat, and
the pilot also recognized him. Gage
alighted on his left knee, confusing it.

ately, when falling timbers struck him OF
the head. compelling him to kneel again.
He then made tracks for terra JfrmG, with
