1t is impossible to tell the number of lives
lost by this melancholy disaster, or to as
certain all the names of those on board.
The schooner Cornelia arrived at Chi
cago at Ais, with the two only survivors
of the i'll fated steamer.
Mr.. Chamberlain states that,when pick
ed up by the Cornelia, he was dashed to
bow-sprit by a rope about his waist In
which position he could observe every
thing that was going on. When asked
if he thought there were any on board
left alive, he stated to the rescuers that
there was one man at the stern of the
boat. This was Henneberry, who was
found floating on gang plank and saved.
There were six families on board, and
the cries of women and children, and
even of men, powerless to help either
themselves or those dependent them
were heart-rending in the extreme Mr..
Chamberlain says it was next thing to
the horrors of death to hear and see what
he heard and saw.
1t was first discovered in the after part
Of the boat between and clock this
morning, when the boat was nearly
abreast of Waukegan, some eight miles
from shore. The vessel burnt to the
water edge and the hull foated near the
shore opposite Rockland station, where it
sunk MIR. Chamberlain says few were
actually burnt to death, but nearly all
jumped overheard and were Immediately
overwhelmed in the heavy sea. Henne-
berry hands were both frozen while he
hung on the after davits, and Chamber
lain hands are badly bruised and scorch-
ed
Captain Goodrich thinns that if the
boat had been stopped at once, and small
boats lowered, all or nearly al! might
have been saved.
