VESSEL BURNED.
Over One Hundred Lives Lost by the Burn
ing of Ferry Boat.


Ing of a Ferry Boat.
NEW YORK, Feb. A correspondent
writing from Rio de Janeiro gives the
details of the burning of the ferry
boat Tiercera and the loss of over 100
lives. The Tiercera, with over 800 pas
sengers, left the Rio side of the bay at
about p. m. San Domingo was one
of the points of sembarkation, where
it landed perhaps 200 persons and
received on board fifty others. Soon
after backing out of the dock at San
Domingo and turning toward Praia
Grande. another point on the Nichthe-
roy side, it was discovered that the
Tiercera was on fire and burning rap
idly. At the same time the ferryboat
Quinta left Praia Grande in the direc-
tion of San Domingo, having aboard
quite a large number of passengers.
The alarm seems to have been given
first from aboard the Quinta by means
of her steam whistle. The master pilot
of the Quinta steamed quite close to the
Tiercera, now almost entirely ungov-
ernable. He intended to run along
side near enough to save the passen-
gers, who were in danger of being
burned. But when nearly in striking
distance of the burning wreck he was
prevented by the cowardice of the pas
sengers of the Quinta, who, in n large
crowd, went to the pilot house and,
with drawn revolvers, compelled him
to abandon the people on the burning
boat, who were thus allowed to burn
to death or throw themselves into the
bay. a large number of the launches
and other craft hastened from the Rio
side and attempted to save the drown
ing men, women and children. and
many were thus rescued, but over 100
