New York, Dec. 19.-By the burn
ing Of the Starin line steamer Glen
Island in Long Island sound nine lives
were lost and property roughly esti-
mated at $3.50, 1000 was destroyed. That
more lives were not sacrificed undoubt-
edly was due to the personal courage
of the officers and crew and the ex-
cellent discipline maintained when a
horrible death for all seemed almost
certainty. When the steamer was
abandoned she was flame swept from
stem to stern and yet the only per-
sons who lost their lives were those
whose escape had been entirely cut of
by the fire before the alarm reached
them.
OF the thirty.one persons. including
ten passengers, who sailed away on

eight passengers, were brought back
