STORY OF GREAT RIVER DISASTER
MRS. MARGARET CLARK OF THIS CITY, WITNESSED BOIL FER EXPLOSION ON STEAMER PENNSYLVANIA IN 1858.

On the morning of June 8th, 1858, the boilers on the Steamboat Pennsylvania exploded near Bor- deau Island, 70 miles below Mem phis.
 Mrs. Margaret Clark of Marianna, then a child eleven years old, was standing on the front porch of her grandfather's home on Bordeau ls- land and witnessed the explosion and burning of the Pennsylvania. Mrs. Clark says it was Sunday morn ing and the family was making preparations to go to church. The river was at high stage water and the boat was running close in to the bank. When not more than 200 yards from the house the ex plosion occurred and almost inn mediately fire broke out. Mrs. Clark's grandfather, MT. F. A. Har- rison, in the greatest haste, assem- bled his negroes and put out with large barge or flatboat to the aid of the unfortunates on board the Pennsylvania.
 Mrs. Clark's brother, mere boy, went out in a skift and picked up 16 people who had been thrown into the water and were clinging to bits of wreckage. These were placed on mattresses and blankets on the porch of MT. Harrison's home and cared for by the family until picked up by the Steamboat Kate Frisbee late in the afternoon. Many of the IS had been badly ] scalded and suffered greatly during the day. After saving these peo- pie, the brother in the skift, picked up others further down the river

 "On Sunday morning between and o'clock the Steamboat Penn sylvania was on its way up from New Orleans for St. Louis X When 70 miles below Memphis near Bordeau Island an explosion of the boilers took place of a most terrific character. The whole of the super structure of the boat from the wheels was dashed to ruin :. At the time of the occurrance, Capt. Kleinfelter was in the barber shop. which escaped destruction .. He first had the anchor cast but the line parted. He then hailed a wood boat, which the owner, Mir. Harrison. at once cut loose and made for the wreck, where he and his boat rendered services which greatly contributed to render the calamity less fearfully destructive than would have been without such assistance, fer the Peansylvbnia took fire less than half an hour
