The Burning or the City Of New London.
Tho Sound steamer City of New London
took fire of Poquetanoc Cove in the Thames
River, yesterday, and was totally destroyed.
The Hre was lirst discovered issuing from one
OF the ventiators, bu. three streams of water
were brought to bear upon it and it was sup
posed to be extiveRis5f1. Soon afterwards,
however, FIRE waar albnn discovered in some
cotton o'1deck, and this refused to succumb to
any efforts Of the crew. Thereupou the cap
tain determined to beach the vessel, but found
that the engine would not work, and that there
was danger of boiler explosion. There
upon every one on board determined to save
himself, but the life preservers and the boats
were found to lave been cut off by the spread
OF the flames, and the passengers and crew
were compelled to take to the water with
only such supports as they could secure
to serve as life preserver. Three
passengers and nine Of the crew were
drowned, aud the rest were picked up
by boats from shore, greatly exhausted. The
disaster to the City of New London brings 10
mind tho absolute necessity for not only moro
boats and more life preservers on all seagoing
Or river steamers, but also the necessity for
more general distribution of these about the
boat. Usually there is lifeboat between the
paddle boxes and others hanging over the
quarters, and as general thing life preservers
sre piled up on high shelf, entirely out Of
reach Of passengers, with as mach ill-advised
caro- as q thrifty housewife shows for her
clean table linen. They should be scattered
peu NELL about the boat, so that the passen-
fers themselves may see them at every turn,
and be within reach 81 them on evcrv ,.r rart Of
