Cairo. ILL.,. April 21.-Although no
complete list Of either the victims or
OF the survivors is yet obtainable, in
vestigation today indicates that almost
one-half Of the $50 people on the City
OF Pittsburg were lost when that i'll
fated steamer was burned yesterday at
Ogden's Landing, between this city
and Paducah. Many of those who
were brought to this city are suffering
from injuries, exposure and d~fright The
number aboard was about equally di-
vtded between passengers and crew.

casualties.
The names of many of the 'roust-
abOuts" were not known. and the num-
ber drowned or burned is not likely to

freight material or possibly in the en-
gine room, and shut off the means of
escape there while passengers jumped

Penned In by Flames.
Within ten minutes of the discov-
NJ hn6 OF
the upper decks were swept by flames
and passengers were penned in on all
sides, even the life preservers being cut
off by the flames. The panic which fol-
lowed caused greater loss of life than
would have ensued if the officers could
have controlled the terror stricken
people. Some rushed through the
names and perished; others tainted
and sank down to be cremated. Many
in their night robes some of them
atire, jumped overheard and were
drowned. Those that got into the boats
saw others drowning as their over
crowded crafts pulled to shore. The
barely clad survivors on the shore not
only witnessed hOrrifying scenes
around the charred hull but also suf.
fered from early morning till relief
came in the afternoon.
The captain says there were 66 pas
sengers, not including a dozen babies.
There We're as many women as men
in the cabin and the indications are
that the greater percentage of losses
was among the women and children.
Register and Records Burned
AS the register, with all other rec
ords was burned and the survivors
scattered in every direction, there is
great difficulty in getting list of sur
vivOrs. 1t is conceded that many
bodies will never be recovered, so that
there will never be a complete list of
the victims. 1t is thought that many
charred bodies will be found in the
hull of the burned steamer when the
mass of embers ceases burning so that
the search for the remains can be
made.
