Burning of the lady the Lake.

Burning Oh Tue Lhu5 VI TIC AhHS.
The Norfolk Landmark gives the following
account of the burning of the steamer Lady of
the Lake a notice CT which appeared in yes
terday's Gazette:
The scene was terribly grand, every portion
of the steamer being distinctly revealed, while
the dark shadows which had laid upon the wat
ers et the barber were driven back for l0ug
distance BY the bright light, sh"wIos every
thug within the clearly dehued circle. Five
large streams had been turned upon the fire.
two from the wharf plugs. TWO from one OF the
engines, and one from the plug 10 front OF the
custonhouse. Notwithstanding the great vol
ume of water thrown upon the FIRE it spread
with great rapidity, and soon the sad truth was
apparent to every Que, that little beside the
hull, which is of iron. would be saved Capt.
George Fl. Plant of Washington, the owner OF
the steamer, was upon the wharf, he having
come down on her last trip, and We are lDdebt
ed to him Tor the following particulars: he
fire was discovered about $50 . clock 10 the oil
room, which is situated Deatly amldshlps, 90
the starboard side Wheo the aiarm was given
he and the officers Of the boat were at supper.
They Immediately rushed out and found The
loc.tion of the fire. The hose was Instantly
gotten ready aud attachad to the plug. but the
volume of water was limited and lacked force.
With the exception of one of the life boats. aud
a small portion of the officers and crews per
soDal effects, nothiug was saved.
When it was tuuud that the fire could not be
subdued, the stern line was cut loose 10 order
that the steamer Dig ID, swing around and thus
avoid burning the wharf.
About 9 . clock the stern was again swung
I'D 10 the wharf By this time the FIRE had
been communicated to the lower cabin and i'm
mepse volumes Of fame and smoke were pour
Ing up through every opening III the deck At
II O clock the fire was under complete coutrol,
but the blackeDed null, machinery aud whee,s
alone remained Of the handsome steamer OF q
few hours before.
The Lady of the Lake was doi0g splendid
business on the !iue between this city, W.sh-
iogton. Alexandria aud Georgetown, ani her
destruction is matter OF sincere regret. as II
will injure for while at least the trade which
Norfolk has had with that section.
The EirgiDian Of the same city says. This
disaster puts an end to all direct communication
By steamer with the National Capital, but We
are glad to learn from Mr.. Plaut. one of the
owners, who was on he spot, that be Intends TO
