life raft. Persons who were neal the
burning steamer, report that the boats
were all cast loose except n which
was hanging to the ships side. one
end Of the boat having caught in the
rigging, preventing her being launched.
The mate of the ship Fusiguma, which
was lying a quarter of a mile from the
Waco, reports seeing a boat with per-

o'clock this morning, going westward.
The sea was running very high at the

raft was lost sight OF in the storm and
darkness. The officers of the
