o.day in seven fathoms of water. The
vessel and cargo are total loss The
wind this morning was blowing gale
and the passengers and crew put off in
the ships boats, of which she had four
besides life raft. The persons who
were near the burning steamer report the
boats were all cast loose except one which
was hanging to the ships side, one end
of the boat having caught in the rigging
preventing it being launched. The mate
of tie ship Fusguma, which was lying
quarter of mile from the Waco reports
seeing boat with six persons in it pass

westward. the sea was running very high
at the time. The steam tug Buck Thorn

One Of the pilot boats which has been
outside all day has just returned and
brings no tidings. The steam tug Buck
Thorn has just arrived and brings the

ing near where the Waco burned and got

launch one of their boats but before it
could be done the raft was lost sight Of

OF the Buck Thorne went twenty miles
