PANIC ON BOARD A BRITIsn STEAMER. A
letter from Kingston, Jamaica. furnishes the
subioincd account of the courageous conduct
Of an American engineer on board the Brit
ish steamer Twinklng Star, which left Kings
ton on the 20th of November for Cape Hayt-
en-, with a valuable cargo. 1t appears that
on the 9th of November, at about 9 O'Clock
at night, the engineers discovered that the
iron plates about midshps and in front of
the paddle wheels had been strained from
the heavy seas through which she was pass
ing, and that large volumes of water were
coming into the hold of the vessel, through
cracks on either side, below the water mark.
A panic ensued, the life boat was launched,
the firemen forsook the furnaces, the oilmen
the engines, the stewards the kitchens, and the
captain took leave of his senses. The scene
was indescribable, the panic complete. We
quote from the letter:
Just at the critical moment Mr. Thomas
Lewis, the second engineer, and the only
American citizen on board, seeing every post
deserted and all hands flying into the jaws
of death, rushed upon deck, and with a voice
of thunder and thrilling earnestness, ad-
dressed himself to them in this wise:
''Hallo. there where are you, who call your
selves Englishmen! Why fly from your sta
tons when there is little bit Of danger, and
call yourselves men and Englshmen? Come
back here to syour places-I am not afraid !
I'll stake my lite, and back all have, that |
will take this vessel into port with perfect
safety if you but do your duty" Then turn
ing to the Captain he said: You, Captain,
you've lost your head, and allowed these
cowardly fellows-these lazy land lubbers,
who call themselves English, to take your
senses from you. Go up to youriplacc on the
hurricane deck and order the wheelman back
to his place Turning to the firemen who
stood with their bags ready to quit the ship,)
60 back to your places, and do your duty, and
if we are to die, let us die like brave men,
and not as towards lam but a young man
yet and do you think | am going unnecessa-
rily to risk my life ? And l have young
wife and a little family in Jamaica, and
do you think | am going to leave them to
there, and not to run away in a little emer-
gency like this? Then addressing Mr.. Ma
than, q solicitor, who was buckling on his lite
belt he said: Take that off, sir; not the slight
est necessity for any nonsense Of that kind
You stand by me and everything will 60 well" ;"
And that little American citizen, Mr.. Lewis,
SO inspired confidence into the whole panic
stricken crew, that they resumed their places,
and carried the steamer successfully into the
harbor of St. Nicholas Mole, and / was in
formed by Mr.. Nathan, a passenger on board,
that had it not been for the courage and pres
ence of mind of this second engineer, the
steamer must have fOundcrcd, and all hands
been lost, whereas the steamer was safely
conducted into one of the best harbors in the
world, without her cargo having been dam
aged to the extent of u single shilling The
cargo was valued at f12 900.

"LlTTLE DIFFICULTY IN GEORGIA.

From the Augusta lGa) Constitutionalist Dec. 90.
The city at an early hour yesterday morn
ing was excited over the report of a mos
tragic occurrence, on Monday afternoon, at
Dearino, on the Georgia Railroad, in which
Mr.. A. N. Hodo, former resident of Au-
gusta, and MI Ellis Adams. residing about
a mile from Dearing, lost their lives and two
other received ugly wounds.
About half-past two o'clock Monday after
noon, at the store of A. n Hodo connected
with which was his brother, Dyer Hodo, and
j. B. Lambert, difficulty, the cause of which
was not stated, arose between Lambert and
Ellis Adams. The latter drew his knife,
which was followed by the former also draw
ing his knife and warning Adams not to ap-
prOach him. At this juncture Adams drew
his pistol, when Lambert walked into the
store and gathered a gun, one barrel OF
which was said to have been loaded with
small shot AS Lambert was returning with
the gun he was intercepted by A. n Hodo
who induced him to give up the gun. In the
meantime the report Of q pistol was heard
outside, and Dyer Hodo, a one-legged man,
clerk in the store of his brother, exclaimed
that he was shot. With this A. n, Hodo
stepped to the door with the gun, before
which Ellis and Kinchen Adams We're stand
ing, when Ellis Adams fired upon him with
out effect IIodo then fired his gun, with
what effect is not known, when another shot
was fired by one OF the other of the Adams
brothers, the ball taking effect just above the
left nipple of Hodo, when he fell and expir-
ed instantly.
Seeing his friends and business associates
thus shot down, Lambert Immediately left the
store and proceeded to the house Of Mr.
James Harris, where he procured q gun and
returned to the scene of conflict. AS he ad-
vanced upon the brothers Adams they were
each firing, a shot by one OF them wounding
him in the lip. Lambert continued.to advance,
when the brothers becoming separated, he
followed Ellis Adams, whom he fired upon =
few hundred yards from the store, and it is
supposed shot him down, as q party who
went in the direction a few minutes after the
discharge Of his gun found Adams wounded
and stretched upon the ground in an appar-
emily dying condition. In the excitement of
the occasion Adams was left in the condition
in which he was found. A short time after
he was visited again, when it was found that
some unknown person, to hasten the work of
DEATH had plunged dagger three several
times into his throat, and that he was quite
dead. His body was then taken up and sent
to his residence about mile from bearing,
no inquest having been held
No arrests are reported. The wound of
Lambert is not regarded serious Dyer
Hodo was severely wounded in the side, and
while his injuries are not regarded as necess-
arily fatal, he is lying in quite a critical con-
dition.
