on the subject, and in reality all the man.
ayers of the company owning the vessel
could ascertain. Capt. Horton, upon the
receipt of the news, started at once for the
scene of the disaster. The Sunnyside left
this city at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
with quantity of paper shipped by the
Glens Falls paper company, 60 fathoms of
| II inch chain shipped by j. B. Carr & Co.,
and quantity of cider from Clemlnshaw's 8.
There were but few passengers on board,
and, although the ice was forming rapidly
no doubts were entertained but that the
boat would get through all right. 1t was
accompanied by Silllman's wreckirg vessel
to be used in case of emergency. The boat
passed Castleton at 4.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, encountering serious difficulties,
but was apparently all right. The next
heard from the boat was that it had sunk
as stated above, the location being four
miles this side of Poughkeepse. 1t is be-
lleved, however, inasmuch as the boat is
not entirely under water, the damage will
not exceed $4,000, upon which there 10
full insurance, GU both vessel and cargo.
THE CAUSE oFlTHE ACCIDENT.
The cause of the accident is as yet I'M
known. 1t is supposed, however, that the
sharp ice cut through some portion of the
shell, letting in the water too fast to be
pumped out.
| HOW THE DIRECTORS RECEIVED THE NEWS.
The news of the disaster spread rapidly
through the city, and many of the direc-
tors soon congregated at the steamboat
office TO learn the particulars. They did
not seem to be very low-spirited, however.
Ex-Mayor Kemp said he would buy all the
stock any one wanted to sell. C. L. Mac
Arthur thought they had enough money in
the treasury to purchase a dozen Sunny
sides, and said he would not sell his stock
for any price.
THE VALUE OF THE BOAT.
The Sunnyside is valued at about $685.
900. 1t is comparatively new boat, being
but ten years old. 1t was built for use on
the Hudson river, and has been owned by
the present company four years.
