Victoria. B. c., July 2s.-The master
of the steamer Nell, which has arrived
here, reports that ten days ago when
he was waiting for the tide to enter a
creek below Port Simpson, he watched
a large wo-masted passenger steamer.
seemingly an American vessel. which
was evidently on fire. For three
quarters of an hour she lay still off
Dundas island with a great cloud of
SIN olxe above her spars and her hull
hidden in pail of steam, which looked
as though water was being put on the
fire Then she ran toward Dundas ISL
and, as though the officers were run
ming her ashore. The Nell's officers
watched her for a long time until the
smoke obliterated their vision, and
when it cleared she was gone.
