r 1t now seems probable that no boats left The
steamer City of Waco, barned off Galveston.

lifeboats were seen, 1t is probable that the
whole list OF passengers and crew persisted.

and crying for assistance, but no aid could be
extended on account of the boisterous sea that
was running. -" '''" 'e-'.'' ~
