steamer Ike Bonham, which left
here Yesterday for Boyou Vidal, ex-
ploded her boiler when eleven miles
below the city, and a short distance
from Bedford Point, on the Louis
lana shore. William II. Andrews,
the mate. and several colored men
of the deck crew were blown over
board and drowned. E. P. MeEl-
roy, the pilot, and Charles Girard,
the engineer, white men, were serl-
ously scalded and bruised. The
steamer L. H. Sargent of the same
line, bound for Davis Bend, was
about a mile distant from the Ike
Bonham when the accident occur
red. She Immediately headed for
The Bonham and reached her as the
wreck driited on the bar and settled
down in three feet of water. The
Sargent arrived here last evening
with the wounded. None of the
bodies of the drowned had
been recovered. Engineer Charles
Girard on the Ike Broham makes
this statement:
Pilot McElroy was in command
and Mrs. William Sargent was in
charge of the office had just tried
the water in the boiler and found
scart two gauges. | had left the
wheel and gone back in the cabin
to dinner, leaving Andrews steering.
In an instant the schock came. L
was knocked down and bot bricks
almost covered me. They were call
ing for help. The explosion tore
away the Office, pilot house, Chin
news, forward boiler deck, and all
the forward part of the cabin, throw
ing them into the river. Six dock
hands were all blown overload,
only one of whom was recovered.
All on board were scaided except
Mrs. Sargent. Immediately after the
explosion she took command of the
boat, went below, helped to launch
the yawl, and commanded those
who were able 10 rescue those In the
river. By this time the debris
around the boiler had caught fire,
and she seized the draw bucket,
drew water from the river and
quenched the flames, after which
she took shovel and threw the red
hot furnace b:ick overheard. Mrs.
Sargent by her heroism saved the
wreck from burning, and with it my
life and those of the other wounded
on board. "
Capt Sargent is in San Antonio,
where ne has gone for his health.
During his absence his wife has had
the management of his boats, which
work she has always done success
fully. While the wreck of the Ike
Brobam was burning. her clothing
