as to the amount Of cotton saved from
the cargo Of the steamer Fashion, burned

that out ofsa cargo Of 250Su ales cotton,
there was tfbsles and parrsof bales to
the number Of about SQ0saved, and this
was nearlyall in ir0q ties-nOt ny
than five bales eottOnh rope founder Y
is my Judgment that ali cotton sAraTu
be bound with iron ties, both to increase
the amount saved Ia case Of wreck or

in handling. Respectfully, your obedi-
ent, P. ID. PRATT,
In command late steamboat Fashion.
