room, from which the flames were leaping with terrible ferceness, and let on every available ounce of steam. His escape from destruction is nothing short of miraculous. They were then about two miles from the shore, with large number of passengers and the fire growing fiercer and fercer every moment However in running for the shore, the steamer was headed against the wind, and, as the fire was in the after part, it materially aided in keeping the flames in that quarter. When the fire broke out and the ext hement was at it's height, several ladies and children jumped overheard and perished, The cries of excitement and general vail that went up were most pitiable to heer. On boat being lowered so many rushed into it that the front davit broke, letting all those within it into the rushing waters below. It is not known whether all these were saved or not. The flames had by this time enveloped the after part of the steamer.
 The passengers were huddled together, trying in vain to gather hope from the ex pression of one another's countenances. The flames were drawing nearer and nearer every moment, driving the crowd forward. The heat became intense. One after another | sank fainting to the deck, overcome by the heat and smoke. One couple, but recently married, got separated in the surging crowd. 1 The husband rushed hither and thither, ] searching for his lost one when, above the AS1NA oA stantly knew came from her he sought. She was in the ladies' cabin, and he rushed to save her, when, in an instant, the flames | swept round them, and the devoted pair per ished, clasped in each others arms. The wheelhouse was now in flames, but, like John Maynard of old, the wheelman stood at his 1 post, the red-hot embers dropping around and upon him. The captain stood near en- couraging and directing all with voice and action. The foam flew from the boats bow as she cleft the water like knife, the flame and smoke rising high toward heaven, mak- ing most impressive picture. One minute more and the shore is gained. 'Hurrah Now, boys, you may go," shouts the captain to his brave crew, as the boat touches the beach, and he himself prepared to leave. Just as he reaches the lower deck he sees lit tie girl rushing into the roaring flames. He l reaches to save her, a' d just in time, but to save himself from slipping down the sloping deck into the flames he grasps an almost red hot iron ladder and both are saved. He drops his charge to those waiting on the beach, and assisting others in the same way all are saved | from the steamer.
