their escape. Upon an examination of
the matter il was discovered that one

cut off where it was inserted into the
cross bar, and then beur s0 fur Gs TO
break of at the bottom, thus making
a hole large enough for m1ns body
to squeeze through. One Of the PRISON

A good deal is being said in various

Terrible Steamer Disaster.

FREDERIcKsBURG, VA, August g.
The steamer Wawassett, running on
the Potomac river between Washing
ton and Curriman. took fire about
twelve o'clock to-day, at Chatalon,
and was destroyed. She had almost
one hundred and fifty passengers on
board, and between forty and fifty
lives are lost. Six bodies were found
ND to two o'clock, three white ladies,
one child, and two colored children.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE Su-
pervising Inspector of Steamboats,
will commence on Wednesday a full
investigation into the burning of the
Wawassett on the Potomac
The number of bodies already re-
covered is sixty seven.
The Washington Stars special cor
respondent at Chatterton's Landing,
Virginia, the scene of the Wawassett
disaster, gives an account of his trip
from here to that point. His report
states that boatmen living on the line
of the river say the screams of the
women and children could be heard
for miles. On the way up to Chatter
ton several bodies of colored men
and women were passed which had
been dragged ashore the night before
Miss Mcpherson, a passenger, de-
scribed the scene on the burning boat
as most terrible to witness. Flames
burst out all around, and swept aft,
driving women and children over into
the water She saw four little chill
dren hanging on by their hands to the
burning steamer, and one after the
other drop into the water, the flames
driving them off. The colored peo
pie were perfectly wild, and no remon-
STRANGE on the part of the officers was
needed They jumped into boat,
billing it full, and declared that it was
the colored peoples boat, refusing
whites admission. When it went
down, all were dumped into the water
together, and many others followed,
being pushed overheard. The flames
burst into the main deck, setting firt
TO the clothing OF the women and chill
dren, who were hoping for some re
lief. but no one could pass the gang
way for the flames.
One of the worst features amonE
the shore scenes yesterday was a dis
position among both white and color
ed stragglers to plunder and rob tn
dead. Several instances of this kin'
were noticed, but could not be preven
ted by McCleIand, who alone was au
tEorized to take charge of all valua
bles found. Owing to the long ex
tent of the shore, many of the bodie!
could not be reached by him until they
had been rified, and the guilty partie
had escaped.
Hiram Smith, colored man, state
that he was present and witnessed th
loss of the life boat. AS soon as sh
was lowered to the main deck the col
ored men took possession of her b
force, and no threats or persuasion
of the officers could prevent Them
The boat was heaped full of baggag
and men, and he saw yellow man Gu
the bow rope, when she fell headlon
down with such force as to tear OF
the stern because of the davit holC
ing at that end, and all in her sunk.
