BURST HEB BOILERS.
SAN Francisco, May 25.-The steamer
Pilot blew up this morning, near Lakeville.
1t is estimated fifteen were killed. Partic-
ulars are wanting.
Last reports received show eight killed,
seven wounded and ten missing. Most
of the latter are probably dead,
but the bodies have not yet been
found. The names of the passengers can
not be definitely ascertained, as no names
we're recorded at the ports of departure.
1t is known, however, that one family of
twelve was on board bound for Arizona.
| The officers and crew of the vessels were:
S. T. Graves, master; Horace Bell, mate;
Charles Farmer, pilot; A. Hawes, steward;
cabin boy, N. Silva; engineer, Thomas
Crawford; freIaen, q. Wyne and Shedder;
deck hand, Peter McCable, Richmond, John
Lamar and an unknown man shipped
yesterday. 1t is thought many of the pas
sengers who escaped scalding and mang-
ling drowned, as the boat sunk immedi-
ately after tho explosion. The Pilot was
owned by Capt. Gould, formerly master of
the ship Conqueror. He purchased the
vessel year ago, together with her trade
and certain other property for 100000.
The explosion is attributed to defective
boilers. Those who witnessed the explo-
sion from the steamer Donohue say that it
was almost funny to see the way the smoke
stack went up. 1t seemed, as they say, to
leave the vessel in advance and shoot up
in the air over 800 yards, coming down
again within few feet of the vessel.
Later dispatches state that that Math-
ews, late of Sonora mountain, on his way
to Arizona, lost four children and another
will die. His wife is crazy. Hegler, who
had just purchased property here, was
killed. The most extraordinary incident
in connection with the disaster was finding
Mrs. George P. McNear, a passenger, about
| mile and half from the scene of the
explosion. She was standing in the mud,
| still alive but unconscious. 1t is presumed
sh6 struggled through the mud and weeds
for that distance in search of relief. She
was Immediately removed to Lakeville,
but died soon after her arrival. She was
the niece of G.A.McNear, grain merchant
of this city.
