THE MISSISSIPPI TRAGEDY.

The rapid destruction by fire of the fine
steamer Kate Adams on the Mississippi Sun
day morning supplies another melancholy IL
lustration of familiar fact. The number OF
fatalities has not yet been accurately ascer-
tanned, and may never be, but certainly not
fewer than thirty persons lost their lives, and
Of these probably every one was doomed to
perish by his own incapacity TO confront sud
den danger calmly. The cargo was highly in
nammable, and other conditions were I'M
favorable, but the universal testimony Of the
survivors IS that the officers of the boat be-
haved with courage, judgment and humanity.
The yawl was skilfully and promptly launched,
the steamer was run ashore at the first alarm
and indeed with such quick comprehension
of the emergency that the change of course
was the original warning which most Of those
on board received and on the part of all who
were directly responsible for the safety of the
passengers there was from first TO last de-
termined and concerted effort to supply every
facility for escape. But in spite of this eX-
ample and assistance great majority of those
for whom so much was being done lost their
heads, and many of them lost their lives in
consequence
applied is that the most deadly factor in a
sudden calamity is panic. Fires in crowded
buildings are only indirectly responsible for a
large part of the fatal results which follow
them. Hundreds who might have escaped
during the last decade from burning theatres,
hotels and steamers have gone down to death
because they had been robbed of perception
and judgment by the wild terror which they
caught and helped to communicate. The high
err the older Of intelligence, the less chance
there ought to be for panic to possess those
in danger, and observation leads to the belief
that on this point the facts confirm the theory.
The Mississippi catastrophe is not certainly
known to have cost single frSt-cabin pas
senger his life. 1t was the negroes who sprang
overheard and swamped the yawl, by means of
which all might have been rescued. and who
