THE MISSING BOAT.
The sixth boat has not yet been heard rom.
News reached Nassau that such q boat drifted
ashore near Harb0r Island sixty miles northwest
1t Is supposed that the persons she contained may
have been picked mp, but 1t Is just as likely
that her passengers perished, as her condH
tion was not very safe after she was stoy9
against the ships side According to Captain
Marry's account she must have been abandoned
altogether after that occurred; yet some one from
the boat which swamped may have succeeded ny
calming her. as many had life preservers on she IS
undoubtedly the boat which was seen to capszd
astern OF the Bienvillc when all OF the rest were
putting of. The number supposed to have been IN
the missing boat Is twenty-fOur.
A passenger who was saved IN the boat which
landed ut Russells Island said to the HERALD rex
porter that the new boilers placed In the Bienvill9
were not covered with felt, and attributed the orR
gin OF the fre to thus cause
