the Anchor Line, sunk at Ashport, Tenn,
about 100 miles above Memphis, at an early
hour on the morning Of the 3Oth. The acci-
dent is supposed to have been caused by
striking hidden stump while making the
landing. No shock was felt, and the first
knowledge the officers had Of the condition
of the boat was when they found it gradually
sinking. There was barely time to arouse
the passengers and get them on shore before
the boat careened over and settled at the
bottom of the river. Most of the passengers
lost their baggage and personal effects. The
City Of vicksburg was bound from st. Louis
to Vicksburg, with good cargo of freight.
