THE FLYER BURNED
A Splendid Steamboat Goes up in
Flames.
Its Destruction at Her wharf in
Seattle Last Night---The Loss.
Scenes at the Burning--The Of
fIcers of the Boat.

Special to the Tribune.
SEATTLE, June 14.-The steamer Flyer
of the Columbia River & Puget Sound
Steamboat and Transportation company
was burned at the Commercial wharf, at
midnight, last night, in full view of thou
sands of people. Her upper works were
practically destroyed. A moment after
the alarm had been turned in blazes broke
forth from all parts of the boat, and as they
leaped skyward, the whole harbor was
lighted up with lurid glare Every ship
in the harbor could be seen. The United
States war-ships stood boldly outlined
against the red shadows and their decks
were filled with hundreds of sailors.
The Flyer was in good condition, having
been on the dry dock for repairs in May.
She had been newly painted and looked
especially neat. Captain Jackson has had
command of the boat since Captain Gil
Parker resigned a few weeks ago. ]. e..
Nixon is mate, Thomas DeYlin chief en-
gineer, A. ]. Taylor purser, and George
Mundy steward.
There were number of theories regard
ing the origin of the fire. 1t was gener-
ally supposed, however, to have begun in
the cotton waste in the engine room, and
quickly communicated itself to the wood
work, which was very dry and highly in
hammable. 1t is almost impossible to
estimate the damage. Steamboat men
who witnessed the fire placed the loss at
sums ranging from five thousand to twenty
Thousand dollars. The elegant interior
furnishings cost great deal of money.
The machinery is doubtless damaged and
the whole upper works will have to be
seem unreasonable. The Flyer was de-
signed by Captain U. B. Scott, president
of the Columbia River & Puget Sound
Navigation Company, and was built under
his superintendence in JOhnson's ship
yard at Portland. She ran between Seattle
and Tacoma in connection with the Bailey
Gatzert and Fleetwood, which are owned
by the same company.
