AN UNFORTUNATE COMPANY
The Mississippi and Atlantic Steam
ship Company Of ST. Louis, has lost
an amazing number of fine steamers
during the few years it has been in
existence. It would look as though
the Company was doomed always to
bad luck. Fires, explosions, ice
gorges, &C., have played terrible
havoc with their boats. Another one
of the boats-the City of Memphis
belonging to said Company, has
blown up, with the usual accompani-
ment of destruction to human life.
The accident (?) is narrated in tel
egram from Memphis, dated May
31st, as follows:
MEMPHIS, May S1.-The steamer City Of
Memphis, from New Orleans for st. Louis,
exploded at the foot Of Buck Island, forty
miles below here, at 8 O'Clock this morn
ing, tearing away the forward cabin and
setting the boat on fire. She had twenty
eight cabin passengers and sixty on deck.
The following are lost: Mr.. Smith, Of
Evansville, Ind; Mrs. Dome, Of Deagle's
Varieties; pilots Frank Perdue, George
Britton; steersman George Hanger, Of st.
Louis; first engineer Harrison Fox; second
steward @. A. Hambleton; cabin boy Jas.
Robinson. The following are scalded:
Mr.. Wakefield, of st. Louis; Mrs. seldsn,
of Jefferson, Texas; Sam. Harris, second
m ate, leg broken; Nick Burns, second en-
ginser, leg broken; II. Smith, third en-
gineer, slightly. About sixty persons are
supposed lost and injured. The steamer
St. Patrick brought up the survivors to
Memphis. The City Of Memphis was
owned by the Atlantic steamship COM
pany, and valued at $4,000, on which
there 10 NO insurance.
