ANOTHER AWFUL EXPLOSION.

MOBILE. ALA, August %.
The low pressure steamer Ocean Wave eX-
ploded her boiler at halt.past o'clock on Sum-
day afternoon, at Point Clear wharf. About
two hundred excursonists were on board
From fifty to sixty were Killed or wounded.
Some of the bodies have been brought to this
city by the steamer Fountain and were buried
last night; others will be brought to-day. Ell
forts are being made for the recovery of the
drowned. The cause OF the disaster has not
been ascertained. An investigation will be
made. OF one Creole family, consisting OF
seven persons, six were killed. The captain,
engineer and pilot were killed. Only three
officers escaped.
pressure boat, left the city Sunday morning
with about two hundred persons on board, for
an excursion to the Fish River, about twenty
miles from the city. On her return she stopped
at Point Clear, reaching there at s P. NJ. The
boat was made fast and part Of the passengers
went ashore. After remaining half an hour,
the whistle blew and the passengers had just
got aboad when the boiler exploded with great
force, followed BY rumbIlng, Kissing sound
Fragments Of lumber and metal few in every
direction. The forward part Of the boat and
cabin was carried completely away. The
chimney fell backwards toward the rear of the
boat, crushing the upper cabin, and the boat
Immediately sunk with her bow submerged.
About sixty or seventy persons were killed
or Injured by the explosion. 30 far, the
bodies OF nineteen dead, eight ladies among
the number, have been recovered. Twenty
eight wounded have been brought to the city,
and one of the number, q little girl. has since
died. The scene was appalling, terrific and
heartrending. Wilder scenes OF grief have
seldom been witnessed. The frantic cries of
the survivors as they lamented for their lost
wives, children, parents and sisters, we're
agonizlng. Many of the passengers were little
children, and many little hats aud bonnets came
ashore to tell of the little victims beneath the
waves. The captain, William Eaton, swan
some time with both legs broken. A boat
reached him just too late, and he went down.
The two pilots were killed, the engineer and
his wife severely Injured, and all the fremen
killed. II Is impossible correctly to estimate
the loss. By some'it Is supposed that at least
thirty or forty persons are still buried in the
debris of the wreck, or at the bottom Of the
bay. A diver has gone to the scene Of the dis
aster. The accident has cast gloom over the
whole city, and universal sadness prevails.
