bow.
panic seized the crew. The boat COM
menced to fill fast and there was a dispo.
slton to rush for the boats But the
captain gave orders to turn on all steam
and make a run for the harb5r, and COM
manded the men to stand at their posts.
The engineer had the steam on at full
head and the timbers of the vessel groantd
under the unwonted strain; but Captain
Cron>hite felt that the lives on the vessel
depended upon the speed with which he
could reach the harbor entrance.
The Conestoga was settling fast and her
speed was diminishing greatly before half
the distance to the piers at the mouth of
the harbor had been traversed. A few
hulldled yards from the harbOr entrance
ii looked as ii the boats would have to be
resortcd to-. As the mouth OF the harbor
was gained floods of water poured into
the fire hold, drove the stokers up the
ladders to the deck, and extinguished the
fires, The steamer was then dragging on
the bottom.
Fears of going down in deep water were
then abandoned, only to be replaced by
apprehensions that the boilers might ex-
plode; but soon the water cooled the boil
ers and the Conestoga came to a stop rs
her keel rubbed into the mud at the bot
tom of the harbor.
The steamer was loaded at Buffalo and
carried freight from eastern points. 1t is
thought that the loss on the cargo alone
will be 100000
