WILL KYLE SUNK
by Striking n suuken Snag at Austria
lila Landing, Miss.


The steamer Josie Harry, which arrived
yesterday, had on board several passen-
gers OF the steamer Will Kyle, her clerk.
James Alexander and her pilots, Wes
Connor and son. Through them the first
intelligence of the sinking of the steamer
Kyle at Australia Landing, Miss, $50 miles
below this city, was received. The acci-
dent occurred about 6 o'clock in the
evening, and was caused by the steamer
swinging in upon projecting snag when
attempting to land to put off a wagon.
The bow was almost touching the bank
and it is probable a safe landing would
have been made except for the fact that
the wind was blowing on shore at the
time. The stern OF the vessel was thus
tlanked in. A tree on the edge of the
bank had been cut off by government
hands, and when the bank caved in, the
sharpened stump was left protruding sew
eral feet straight out from the bank under
the water. When the steamer was blown
in upon the bank this snag burst through
the hull about half way between stern and
midships, making hole about eight feet
long. A volume of water poured in at
once and filed the hold, the steamer
sinking steadily from the moment of the
accident. The stern settled in twenty
feet of water, which rose in the rear to
the cabin floor, the bow held up by a
barge of 500 bales OF cotton which was
being towed up from. Arkansas ~, IN
Cincinnati. Tho vessel his since coraereI !
over q little on hf.e1r side and her chimneys
nave ialler.i INTO the river. No lives were
lost oy the disaster, but it is feared that
he steamer Eckert, which went down to
the scene last hignt, will be able to do
little or nothing and that the steamer will
be a total wreck. The Kyle belonged to
her captain, Lew Hates, her clerk, James
Alexander, and the estate ef John Kyle,
and was built in 1870 She was valued al
$4,000 and insured in Cincinnati offices
fc" $4,000. Her cargo consisted of 30C
