the body OF Powell, $4,000 was found IN

The Times Democrat gives the following
account OF Capt Holmes:
THE BRAVE CAPTAIN,
resident OF New Orleans, met with q
most awful death. He remained at his
post OF duty till every one was off, trying
to save the others, lie plunged into the
water to swim to the shore, but it hap
pened to be boggy, and he was seen TO
make frantic efforts to save himself with.
out avail. The burning boat was fast
nearing him and while he was on his
knees in the mud he put his hands up TO
protect from the intense heat II was an
awful moment for those on shore
who were making every endeavor to
relieve him with skiils and with ropes
from the bank. One man went out TO
him and placed box between him and
the flames TO protect him from the in
creasing heat. He said: "Never mind
me; I'll be dead in few minutes any
way" He was finally freed from his terri
BILE situation by the tying of a rope around
his body and dragging him to the shore,
but alas-too late. He died in about half
an hour after being rescued.
The body of Chief Clerk Powell was in
perfect state Of preservation. There
were no marks OF any kind upon il. lie
had on life preseryer which was partly
burned. IL is supposed he died OF
suilocation. A short time previous TO the
ALARM Powell was convcSing with Will
lie Higgins, bar keeper about the burning
OF the Kate Adams, an account OF which
Higgins had just read. On being told
that fifty lives were lost, Powell said: 81
can't understand how so many lives can
be lost when land is so near.h Half an
hour later cruel fate made him n corpse,
floating down the river.
