The steamer Mississippi and
Wharf ut Seattle Burned.
SEATTLE, W. T., May l3.--The steam
ship Mississippi, belonging to the Oregon
Improvement Company, burned this
morning alongside the dock. The YES
sci was taking in coal at the time and
had on board some 800 tons. Captain
Holmes was aroused and going Oh deck
had the pumps started up. Streams Of
water were soon thrown on the lire
which originated in the oil room. The
flames spread rapidly and the hose was
burned off. The fire soon spread to the
dock and in half an hour the wharf
was enveleped in flames. Efforts
were made TO get the burning vessel
away from the dock, but the tide set her
so heavily against the structure that she
could not be started. The FIRE depart
nent was soon on the ground, but the
tide being on the ebb the engines were
of no service. The vessel burned out in
short time, aad the entire portion of
the wharf used as bunkers for coal was
burned down to the first floor. The Mis-
sissippi was beached this morning and
the tug Goliah is trying to extinguish
the burning coal. One man was very
badly hurt by falling timbers, several
others were more or less injured. The
Chief Engineer Of the Mississippi,
Charles Knapp, was burned to death in
his room. Some Of his bones were re-
covered this afternoon. The Mississippi
was valued ut $50, 900 and insured. The
loss to the dock is s25. 900. The work
Of rebuilding will be vigorously pushed
and in ten days coal will be delivered
over temporary trestle.
