the Exporter and the Bodman, and the
three boats drifted with the stream. The

children lost from that boat, and the
same number estimated by spectators
among the frantic crowd upon the Ex-
porter's forecastle. About twenty were
rescued, among whom were several To-
dies. Some of the rescued were badly
wounded. among whom were persons
who went aboard the burning boats to
assist IN saving life. Some instances are
given of extraordinary heroism and en-
durance. All three boats were tied to
the same ring bolt, and in the hurry of
QUITTING the Kyie's moorings, three boats
were drifted. There was q lamentable
