Boston, March 4.-The report Of the
United States local inspectors, Andrew
Burnham and Andrew j. Savage, on the
City OF Columbus Investigation, was COM
pletcd this morning and was forwarded to
the Supervising nspectOr-General in New
York tonight. Captain Wright Is ham
died wlthou: gloves. The inspectors say /:
"In some way Captain Wright was evil
IDENTIFY impressed with the erroneous idea
that so long as he was within call the ship
was being legally piloted. Captain Wright
had taken an oath to perform the duties
according TO his best skin and Judgment.
He says in the course Of his testimony that
he was always OH duty and never went to
bed while on these voyages OF seventy
hours or more. IL he chose to dispense
with the services OF a special pilot aud as
sumo the duties OF both master and pilot.
he alone was to be held responsible for the
actual proper performance OF the duties
he assumed"
The inspectors compliment the Captain
for his efforts in saving life after the vessel
struck, but say:
1--WE have come to the conclusion that
Captain Wright was the only legal pilot on
duty at the time Of the disaster, and for
two hours Immediately preceding, aud that
for at least one hour before she struck he
was not at the point Of duty OF pilot at
tending 10 actual duties, and as master for
illegally delegating the performance OF the
duties OF pilot to those unauthorized. and
for inattention TO bis duties az pilot, his
license as master and pilot is hereby re-

beat, and calling others to be quick and
unloose him so that aid might be rendered,
he fell into her arms dead. The women
set up a wall peculiar 10 South Carolina
negroes. The body showed cuts Of over an
inch in depth, strips of flesh hanging out
like ribbons. The boys name was John
Craft. He was but seven years old. He
was the son Of Barnes's dead sister. When
the Craft woman lay on her death-bed last
