that not single life would have been saved

the vessel would be destroyed, Culmer with
few others, launched this boat. holding fast
to the painter, when he jumped overheard to
swim to the boat and eleven others foloEed;
and even then had it not been for Culmer, who
was acquainted with the management of boat
and took charge and piloted her safely through
the surf, she would have been lost with the
others. The three passengers who are here
were bound to Havana and will be forwarded
to that port.
The fire was discovered about a. M, in the
pantry, and it suddenly burst in volumes of
flame amidships spreading rapidly over the
