Ma.. (louse, tho Engineer, give an
awful description, of the burning wreck.1
Ho remained on; board until the flaotcs
fairlv drove- him into the water. .With a
broad axe he cut a fender rope and im Me
diately jumped overboard. His fingers
toucfhi'd the fender, which caused it to
roll, and it . was with considerable effort
that he ; finally reached it. A very large,
vigorous. ctnigrat.t o'an p'unged into the
water at thfs tnomeni, evidently with tho
intoiition ot securing the'tynder Jor him
self; but he san'4 and drowned immediate
ly. Mr, Housef sutm found a &tte room
door, which lu? tied to Lis feuder with his
neckerchief: Upon tliis float he support
ed himself for about two hours and a half,
evincing throughout from nil we can learn,
a presence oi mind, fortitude, and hard
iness almost incredible. When he first
got into the Avater he was surroruded by
those who were ' intent upon eking out
their cxjilence "until relief rniht provi
denttally ; reach them.-' These he saw sink
one after another, ehaut-d and chilled,
to ihoir slrpp " of death.- Mr. H. ' whs the
tirst to dbcern the lights '., of the Delaware
Propeller, as she was bearing down to the
relief of these unfortunate beings, and
announced the fact to those a round shiro,
wt the same time exhorting them to hold
jut a little longe r and they Kould be rescued
from their 'perilous situation. At that
time, he is sure there were many alive at
.Yho sound of his voice, . and he is confident
that in a ft;v .minutes afterwards not a
single mie remained except the three who
wiere saved. A lady, cabin pa3nger,
diowned within reach of lumand she
wis' among the last to yield 10; the king
of. .tearbrs. The description' which he
gves of, the' burning wreqk is awfully lor.
rific. The hall was "av'complote bed of
flambswhlch bursting from her sides at
times, streamed far DUt upon the waters,
ajid-thcn curled aloft, until fli me meeting
lltmes, the xrombined current rushed mi dv
upwards until ii . seenjed lost in the clouds.
The shro-uds and rinrain we're covered
ivtth living beings, who sought snfety there
rather Uvin in the water. 'Ihejr terroe.
marked features were lighted by the
ghastly glare pf the flames, .'and, as the
tire reached them in their retreat,' one. af
ter another fell, either burnt tu death or
drowned. Ooe, : man reached the cross,
trues, iyhere he lashed himself. There
he remained after hi companions had all
fallenatiUahen hb died; and when finally,
the inasi went by lhe; board, he went with
it. . r .

throwing over ; board materials enough to
float himself vfif and child.. He rt quest'
ed his wife to leap into the Water with the
ohild; and ph-vctj herself upon ajdooK- -This
with true, hearted devotcdnvss, she
refused to do, unless her husband ac
Icumpadicd her. -They joined - arms, and
plunging. into the yjtluing . flood, sank to.

TVI r -Long, of Milwa-ukae, saw his wife
and child drown almost wiihin his reacfi,
without thV power to save. He afterwards
got hot J of the wheel under, live stern, and
wfcs one of the lhr.ee who were saved alive

Whenhe passengers became awarc'of
the immuie"at Manger which . surrounded

writing desk, close to a bell rope, which
h id not been pulled for assistance, and
giving in fact thi appearance of her death
haAg b'en sudden tnough it donl',haVe
bftf caused only by ' suicide.' or assassina
tion. The Countess hid been. rnt ; by

was no stov'e or candlestick hi ; the room,
and tho cause of the fira has not been d-w
