A Disaster Recalled.

Twenty-six years ago tonight the
steamer Express sank in Chesapeake Bay
and about twenty-five persons were
drowned. The disaster occurred during
the prevalence of an October gale and
while the Inflated steamer was proceed.
ing down the bay from Baltimore for
river landings, Alexandria and Wash
ington. She had arrived off what is
known as Point No Point, a short dis
lance north of the mouth of the river,
when the wind, which was blowing with
hurricane force, carried away some por.
ton Of her upper works which rendered
her machinery useless and placed her at
the mercy of the wind. Being unman-
ageable, she rolled and tossed and was
finally swqmped and sank. There were
many thrilling scenes in connection with
the disaster. A fierce storm set IN dur
ing the night and all steamers caught 10
the bay had dangerous experiences WIN
the wind and waves. All escaped with
slight damage except the Express. A
number Of sailing vessels were blown
ashore during the prevalence oil Inc
storm, and considerable damage was done
on land. The Express had at one time
been towboat at Norfolk, but she had
been taken to Baltimore and heightened
and made into passenger and freight
steamer. The boat was subsequently
put on the route between Washington,
Alexandria, the river landings and Bal
timore and for about fifteen years made
regular trips between those cities. The
Express had sliding" instead of
walking" beam, and was the only
steamer on the river of that class.
