The steamer Sarah, Capt. S. G.. Stone,
was struck by a squat, while on her
from Mobile to New Orleans on
Wednesday last, and had her cabin
blown away, carrying with it several
who were lost. Capt. Stone
publishes the following account Of the
accident in the Mobile Tribune of the
ID instant:
Yesterday afternoon, at 5:45, the
Sarah was struck by a violent
near ~Pascagouls. The steamer
was hove down over two feet under
and being broadside to the wind
the engines and rudder had no effect
upon her. She remained in this position
a minute, and hen her entire
and upper works were blown over
board, carrying ten persons with 1t. One
IF these ten chung to some portion of the
and was pulled on board again.
One other was pulled up on s. piece of
wreck. Eight lives were lost,
viz Mr.. George Jones, pilot; Chas.
steersman James NJ. Callahan, j
Jerk Miss Jennie Tibbets and Mrs.
Zen. O'Ferrell. The chambermaid was !
Ilso lost and two passengers, whose I
are unkRnHn to me, as the list I
vas lost with theClerk. One was an old /
ady, who had been to visit her son in
and the other was a Frenehman. !

Without q warning whatever, and [
verifying was done to secure the lives :
I those overheard. A boat was sent 0
fter the wreck as soon as possible, and h
iligent search was made over every
of it, but the steward was the s
My one who had succeeded in gaining 4
place on it doubtless the cabin in its a
ali stunned the unfortunate people, and a
hey were not able to take advantage of Il
be opportunity offered by the wreck to v
their lives. A BOAT was dispatched q
Pascagoula to convey the sad tidings a
Gen. O'Ferrell, who was there awsit- Y
~ his wife, and shortly after daylight y
ais morning several boats were out L
the various localities in search Of h
he missing ones, but with no success. @
