The survivors of the disaster have
been made as comfortable as possible at
Stewards and near that place where they
will remain until about o'clock Satur-
day morning, at which time the steamer
Georgiana will take them on board, ex-
pecting to reach this city about 9 o clock.
About one half of the passengers on
the Wawasset were women and children,
many Of whom we're en- route to country
places along the Potomac to spend q
short time pleasuring with their friends.
There were quite number of colored
people among the passengers.
The Wawasset is q mail side wheel
steamer of about $50 tons, and is engag-
ed in running between Washington and
the landings along the Potomac. She
was insured for $4,000 When she
left here this morning it vas supposed
che was in perfect order, and the origin
Of the fire is at present unknown
The crew of the Wawasset consisted
Of Captain Wood, clerk, two engineers
two firemen. barkeeper, four deck hands,
and chambermaid.

AS soon as the particulars Of the dis
aster became known tonight great
crowd collected about the wharves, and
the steamer Express was boarded by
hundreds, anxious to learn the fate of
friends on the ill-fated steamer, but as
the registering list was destroyed, no
positive particulars as to names could be
gained.
1t is impossible to obtains correct list
before the arrival of the survivors on
the Georgiana. which is expected at eight
o'clock.
The Wawasset drew only four feet of
water, and a few weeks ago was thor
oughly overhauled and repaired. She
was regarded as an excellent river boat.
and her boilers and machinery were in
first class order. She was owned by the
Potomac Ferry Company, and has been
plying on the Potomac river as an e1-
