were driven 10 the boats by the flames An officer
Of the company said
We shall permit Captain Ingram and his crew
TO rest and recuperate at Wilmington until they
nave fuly recovered from the effects Of the hard
ships they have undergone After that they will
come 10 this city, but that will not be for several
days. We have given up the PaWnee az a total

cargo and the ferceness Of the flames, she has al
