Line steamer Leona was burned and sunk
at her wharf I'm East river tonight The
cargo, consisting of tobacco and 500
bales Of cotton. and valued at about $780,
go. is a total loss. The loss OF the steam
er is $4,000.
Ii is believed that the Leona, which
sailed from Galveston September 9TH,
caught fire al sea several days ago, since
which time she proceeded at full speed,
with battened matches, for this port At
3.91 this afternoon the LeOna came racing
ND East river to her pier, where haste
was made to debark the passengers and
open the matches. An hour later an army
OF men was vainly fighting a fire in the
steamers hold. Finally, the ship was
scutued.
FIGHTING THE FIRE.
As soon as the Leona made fast TO her
pier. about o'clock, the officers OF Inc
vessel. commanded by Captain Wilder,
ordered the members Of the crew to try
10 put out the fire in tho hold, without
calling the Fire Department. This was
soon found to be impossible and an alarm
was sent in. By $50 o'clock ten streams
were playing from fire engines and six
streams from fre-boats. The fircmen had
hard time to get at the flames, as the
boat came into her dock sternforemost
leaving the burning portion out IN the
water. The fire AT first was confined 10
