THE BALTIMORE AND LIVERPOOL STEAMSHIP LINE-s
ARRIVAL OF THE SoMERsET.-Between and 3oclock
Saturday afternoon, the pioneer steamship OF the
Baltimore and Liverpool line, the SOMERSET, Capt,
Sanford, came steaming up the Chesapeake with
full cargo and several passengers. She was warmly
welcomed home and greeted with cheers on all sides
from the various craft in the bay. Hardly had she
reached her wharf before large crowd assembled
upon the pier, making inquiries TO the success OF
the trip. But for the delay in obtaining pilot she
would have been in much earlier in the day. During
the afternoon number of gentlemen, particularly
interested in the enterprise, visited the Somerset,
and were much graifcd with what they learned from
Capt Sanford concerning the successful passage out,
the reception she met in Liverpool and the incidents
of her return trip. En- route home she encountered
some very boisterOus weather and heavy gales, but
rode through them firmly. sustaining no damage
worth mentioning.
During yesterday several hundred people thronged
the Somerse's wharf viewing the steamer with deep
interest.
The work of discharging the cargo will commence
this morning, and will be conducted with as much
pdity as the circumstances will permit As a matter
of considerable interest, list of the consgnees of the
cargo of the Somerset is aDDended.

While coming up the river the following
day, Sunday, the vessel got aground at the
mouth of Dunn creek, about seven miles be-
low Jacksonville. near the place where the
Harriet A. Weed was blown up in June, 1864.
While waiting for the tide to rise and float the
schooner off, the captain, accompanied by his
wife and the mate, Charles Hopper, of St.
Thomas, W. l., went on shore in boat, the
captain taking with him an axe. Proceeding
along the banks of the river, few steps in
advance of his companions, his attention was
attracted by what to him must have been a
singular looking object, lying near the edge Of
the water, partially covered with barnacles and
weeds, which he stopped to examine.
While doing so, he was seen to strike a
slight blow with his axe, and the next moment
as his wife says, he was enveloped in cloud
of smoke, which was Immediately followed by
a terrific explosion, throwing the captain some
fifteen PAGES, mangling him frightfully, and
of course, killing him instantly. The mate
was also thrown some distance and shockingly
burned, and died of his injuries the following
day. The torpedo was of the segar-shaped
barrel variety, and must have been one of the
number planted at the time the ill-fated
Weed was blown up, nearly eighteen months
ago. and which the Boston, with a large load
of passengers, so narrowly escaped, she having
passed over them Immediately ahead of the
Weed.
