landing. Five persons ara missing.
The body Of Wand jackson, colorsd,

The body OF Mrs. C. l.. Main, of New
Haven. was secured. She was on her
bridal trip, and sprang overheard With
her husband. They sank three times.
when Main became entangled in the
paddle wheel aud was saved. II is now
thought Mrs. Main aud the second cook.
. colored man named Jackson. are the
only persons drowned. Two deck pas
sengsrs are unaccountrd for however.
The insurance amounts to 10000,
| distributed amongst quite number of
companies. Tie cargo VAS valued at
from $4,000 to 10000, belonging
mostly TO Hartford merchants. 1t was
shipped at the sender's OF consigneo's
| risk. Tili0way. the clerk of the boat,
when the whistle for landing at Gsod-
speeds was blown. proposed to send the
shipping papers ashore that belonged
there. but no passengers were to be
landed, and bat little freight. No fire
| in a few feet Of the docs. Til.owav
fastened to awake the passengers. In
! the meantime the agent on shore had
the head ami midshio lines fastened.
but the bOst wis few feet away from
tho dock. Not till this time had those
on shore discovered thu smoke, Tut in a
very short time the flames burst out.
Soon after, when most Of the p.ssen-
gers had gathered cn deck. the boat
swung from the dock, and the power
to handle her from the pilot house, and
the engine room was lost, for the fire
had driven the engineer from his post,
where he remained until the bell wires
no longer worked, and she vessel was at
the msrcy of the tids. The hawser was
seized by twenty men. who put their
whole strength to the task Of pullin0
the boat to the dock, and after a steady
pull, which Mt first seemed OF no avail,
the boat began to move inward. and the
planks were got of and the passengers
went ashore in reasonably good order.
There had been, of course. ranch fear
and excitement during the struggle to
! reach the dock. but no loud demOnstra.
tiOns. There we're occasional excep
tions among few emigrants, who bs-
came much excited. In p1lliug the
hawser TO reach the dock the forward
hawsor broke, having been weakened BY
the fame. There were some passen-
gers who had become confused and did
not understand Tilloway's directions
and remained at the forward end.
These in some cases dropped into the
water. Others took hold OF the hawser
before it gave way aud went hand over

struggling in the water. The ferry
water were taken. No one of this es-
Gaping crowd are known to be Iost.
