NEW YORK, May 9-The Mallory
Line steamer LeOna, which left her
pier last saturday, bound for Calves
ton. took fire at sea, put back, and ar
rived in port Sunday night with six
teen cOrpses on board. The dead were
thirteen steerage passengers and three
members Of the crew, who succumbe ID
to terrible fire which occurred OF the
Delaware Capes at an early hour this
morning. The horror Of the story can
hardly be told. Those who are dead
were penned up below decks, and al
though frantic efforts were made BY
the officers of the vessel to save them,
the fire had gained such terrific head >
way before the danger was discovered
that all escape was cut Off.
The steamer carried in her cargo
many bales of cotton. 1t is not certain
how the fire originated, but when it
was discovered it burst forth with such
fury that it was impossible to reach
the steerage. Even then the steerage
passengers apparently were unmindfuI
Of the danger, else the smoke and
flames had not reached them. The sa-
loon passengers were first aroused, and
in such a manner as to occasion little
alarm. When it became apparent that
the fire had cut off the Storage pass
engers the Captain and his men pour
ed great quantities of water down the
ventilator, and the most frantic efforts
were mad for the escape of those pen
led up. In this way eight of the steer
age passengers made their escape.
From the reports of one Of the pass
engers the Captain made an attempt
to reach the steerage passengers but
the flames drove him back, singed his
eyebrows and scOrched his face.
