ST.. LOUIS. Oct. 29.-John II. Lyon, the
second engineer of the Stonewall, who
reached here to-day on the Rubicon, reports
having helped Capt. Scott to lower ladder
from the hurricane roof down which Che
Captain descended, but Lyon does not
think Scott reached the foot of the ladder
alive, the smoke being so dense and the
fire so hot
Lyon subsequently jumped overheard
and with the aid of a wbeelbarrOw he sue
ceeded in getting ashore some distance be-
low the burning boat He then went to
Yancil's Landing, five miles below, where
he found the head cook, a colored man and
two other men, names not known. Lyon
does not think any were saved beio" this
point.
He also says that after the yawl, men
toned in previous dispatches, reached the
shore, one of the men in 1t returned, using
a board for a paddle, and rescued five men
in the water
While Lyon was in the water he saw
Josh. Lester, one of the barkeepers,
clinging to a bale of hay, supporting lit
tie Girl in his arms. 4 short time after
wards four negro roustabouts were seen
attempting to get on the bale of hay, and
Mr. Lyon thinks they were all drowned.
Capt. John Shaw, part owner, and com
mander of the Stonewall, and Capt. Dan.
G. Taylor. J. B. Weaver, and John Con

Will devote themselves to finding and CAV
ing decent burial to the bodies of those

of Galveston. Texas The result Of the
inquest is not known here.
The Pert family consisted Of u persons
only ; Of whom were saved.
Michel and George Kinner who were
reported saved, are now believed to have

received bv their families; they were well

| large lot of cattle on board of the boat
In addition to the gentlemen mentioned
in a previous dispatch, Capts. Vincent
Yore and Griffin J. Wather left this evening
for Neely's Landing to assist in recovering
the bodies of those lost. The party tool

oner, a supply of oars, and other articles
that may prove useful.
The Memphis Packet Company has Of
fered free transportation to all who ma,
desire to go down and join in the humane
work Of burying the bodies that may h'
| found
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Lyons that ver.
few and probably none Of the passenger
succeeded in getting ashore below Nancil
Landing, and gentlemen of judgment and
knowledge of the river incline to the sam
opinion Should this prove true 1t wi
