No freight was teken out of the hold after the boat left this it, and nothing done, and the hatches not raleed: ex” cept the usual examination of the watchmen,’ pre- vious to the discovery of the smoke. When op- posite Florence, la., I discovered smoke issuii through the joints of the forward hitch, whick a me some uneasiness, when I called one of the deck hands, who was standing near, to raise the hatch to see ifthe cause was below; the appear- ance of more smoke proved my suspicions to be corieet, and I immediately ran to the hurricane deck and ordered the pilot to land the boat, that there was fire in the hold. Next, returned to said hatch and found that two men had ‘gone dowa with hose. I ordered them to go aft and get all passen- gers on deck forward, while I went through the cabin, assisted by the second clerk and steward, woke up the passengers, which I did with all U speed possible, and exhorting them to pradence— thut the boat was on fire in the hold. “Sie your lives and leave bagguge—the boat is landing, and ull may ercape if you will act prudently.” The awful scene that followed after the alarm, oye can better imagine that Ican describe, fromthe time I first discovered the smoke until the boat landed, which I do not think was outside of five minutes. J hed under my protection a lady, the wife of Maj. Vincent Philips, of Hollidaysburgh, Pa, whom I felt very anxious about, as she was in the room on the extreme end of the Ladies’ cabii » and the only lady unprotected on board, to my knowledge. 1 worked my way through to the room, and pushed the door open, found her getting up, having heard the alarm, bat was dre aaa only in part. I told har to come quick—the boat was on fire. She handed me a portion of her clothes and turned to get her trunk. I told her to let the trunk remiin—she might lose her life, as beth could not be saved. Many had gone ahead of us; but I succeeded in getting her out on shore, when she requested me to leave her, and return to the assistance of others— that she could get oS the hill without assistance, as it was not steep. Up to this time the fire had not reached the cabin Hoor. On my retura | met man’ who were trying to save bagg.ge, and many child- rev were pushed and crowded off the epngw ay iné | to the water. I then ran in and pulled them out, one after another, and passed them to -the sh and 1 then cleared the gangway of trunks an boxes, for the passengers to muke their escape.

To eseepe from the eflects of an explosion myself was impossible, should any more be left ia the hold. After making the exhibition, I wentinto the river with the keg,in order to get it entirely out of reach of fire, but unfortunately the ecurreat was carrying it towards the fire agin. I then ran in snd got it out, at which time the mute came and took it from me, and carried it below the boat. Sumuel Masters, the carpenter, used every effort to get in the hold to scuttle the bout; but on raising the hatch, eo dense was the smoke and heat that it was impossible, In trying to replice who was assisting him, fell down throug! recovered by the carpenter, who caught hin heels as he fell.
