the stern ! saw smoke rolling out be-
tween the panels and flooring Of the
statc.rOOm called the bridal chamber.
Immediately saw flames bursting
out oil the whole side of the state-rOom,
ran to the bell to sound the alarm, but
found that there was no bell rope to
pull by. | ran to the side Of the boat and
shouted Fire" to the Waterman Of the
Carondclet, who sounds the nver alarm
from that boat; and some one ran to the
fire department signal box on the corner
Of main and Temperance streets and
called the engines. In less than ten
minutes the whole cabin, texas and stern
was in one mass OF flames, roaring as
furious as he'll, and had to leave the
boat, a it wasroastlng me. ! could not
get inside the cabin to save my trunk
OF clothes, and the engineer, Mr..
Hill and the carpenter, whom ! only
know by the name Of George, all had
their clothes burned up. DO not know

it is believed she was insured tor that
