FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE Loss OF THE CRY OF
MEMPHIs-The Atlantic and Mississippi company's
steamer CITY of Memphis was built at Pittsburg in
1856 or 1861, receiving her boilers of the Crystal
Palace in for seven years previously; and conse-
ouently about sixteen years old the time of the
plosiun. We are informed the boat bad been con-
dcmned two or three times, and there is great re-
sponsibity somewhere for permitting such boat to
convey passengers and thus, it were, perpctratng
fraud on the travelling public, which in this instance
has resulted i'll wholesale loss of lives and property
SAYS the Ledger: From Dr. James Smythe, of Ha-
vana, formerly of Georgia, learn that the head
giGeer said that he knew the capacity of the boilers
AID would not, under any circumstances, allow more
than lis pounds of steam. The boilers, said the
engineer are put up for 10 pounds, but under no
circumstances would allow her to carry that amount,
no matter how long takes her to get to the end OF
the Journey DR.. Smyhe said the fire on the boat
could easily have been cxtinguishcd had prompt and
PROPER steps been taken by both passengers and crew.
az it was half hour after the explosion occurred be-
fore the fire got Roadway Mr. j. c. Short says: The
accident occurred just about breakfast time had
eaten and gone out the guards and sat the rail
ing opposite the gangway on the larboard side of the
boat near the scapcpipe. had just asked gentle
for pipe and tobacco and be went to his state
room to get them. While he gone | heard the
engineer try of the gaugecocks; it did not blow
if there enough water in the boilers but sounded
dry; and in Just about time enough for the engineer
to touch the other cock the explosion occurred
