IHE POTOMAC SLAuGurER.-The papers
contain full details Of the burning of the Wd,ud-
set At Chaterton Landing, near Fredericks.
burg, Va, on Friday. The Captain says the
boat took fire about noon Friday, and spread
with frghtlul apility, extending In less than
five minutes from the walking beam on the hur-
ricane deck TO the pilot house. 1t was found
impossible TO get at the life boats and the
steamer was immediately headed for shore, but
the fire made it impossible for the engine to
work, and before tho boat struck about fifteen
minutes had expired.
The loss of life from the disaster is simply
frlghtful Seveety-six dead bodies have thus far
been recovered but only twenty recognized.
The captain says that the frightfu loss of life
was caused by the panic that enslled after the
alarm was given that passengers persisted in
Jumping over board AFT Of the boat where the
water was deep instead of going forward whore
there was but littlo more than four feet of wa
ter.
Statements of other officers are to the effect
that the most heart-rending incidents of the
dreadful tragedy were the vain cndoavors of
those that were saved to rescLe women and
children, who formed the majority of the passen-
gers off the steamer. The lamentable statement
Is made that quite number Of families were
seeking country resorts for the heated and sick
ly term during the present month. There were,
therefore, comparatively few male passengers
on board, and the females, without experience
TO guide them, and not knowing what TO do in
the emergency, were capable of little more than
frantic but useless efforts to save the lives of
their children.
The excitement which existed can he Judged
from the fact that the boat had nearly 600
life preseveIs on board and only two were used,
one placed by Mr.. Emerson on small child,
his daughter, and one which he used himself
They were both saved.
The Wawaset was 120 feet long, 26 feet wide
feet depth of hold, and was 32S 0O-1O0 tons,
custom house measurement. She was fitted up
to suit both freight and passengers.
She was built in 1868, in this city, by Pusey,
Johes Il Co, for tho purpose of running fruit
from Duck Creek and Smyrna to Philadelphia,
but was chartered by the government during
the war as transport for troops.
