It was found, Jowever. that it would be necessary to disconnect the whaft; and for this purpore it was raised and lowered se ‘Veral times. causing great deluy The strained and bent condition of all the rods contributed to render the | ark of dientangling the mnss of ruins one of great diffewlty, At12o0’cloek. Mr.Germaine, the lute engineer of the Henry Clay. had ovly jast sueceed-d in detaching ahe beam, which was then being boisted, This of course is but a smull poriion of the machinery which must be lifted before the search can be prosecuted; Qnd numbers continued to arrive at the spot during the day, by both up avd down traios atl of which stop except the exprers trains and altura every possible accommoda- tion All express their conviction that several, some say twenty and some fifty—but this of cours must be a mat- ter of vague epeculation—remain under tho flanges of the paddles or the machinery. It was certain there were two Dbodies—this had been ascertained by divers. One man, named Henry Lanigan, dived twice and succveded in fastening a rope round the leg of a man, and dis- tinctly felt that there was a ond imaa there. This feat ‘Was an extraordinary one, consiaering the broken state of the timbers among which he had to work under water, The wreck of the Henry Clay has gone almost entirely to pieces. The smoke pipe is lying in the water, and the ‘wooden portions of her hui! are floating about in charred fragments. Her timbers appear to have been very slight, Ondin their dry condition the flames must have ravaged them as though they Were wicker work She is complete- Jy burnt on the inside, down to the kelson, othing remains but the mere floor, the machinery @nd the smashed paddle wheels, which are immoveavle, hy reason of the weighty machinery attached to them As the work continued the dificulty became more Perceptibly great, and it was found it would be necessary ‘to out through some ot the rods with cold chisels, as in their covfured and entangled state. taking out the bolts ‘will not enable them them to be drawn up. They did not seem to be provided with the necessary ‘implements, and the operation progressed very slowly, ‘The shaft was removed and hcisted out, but the heavi- @st part of the machinery and boilers remained immove. able. It will be necersary to lift these completely, in order to raise the wreck, of which a kelson and floor is elone left. and which of course have no buoyancy. ‘The impatience of the spectators became very great, a3 they have evidently expected their suspense would be more speedily relieved when the Derrick-went to work ; and to appease this feeling, the tackle was shifted to the farther or starboard wheel. and by this means was so far eased. that a body was extricated by menns of arope at- tached to it, ae before described. This was identified to bas was before expected. that of Iraac D. 8ands, It ‘Was forwarded to Yonkers that an inquest might be held. So pressing is the emergency considered, that they talk of continuing the work thir day (Sunday). STATEMENT BY ANOTHER PASSENGER. The following plain and direct statement is given by Mr. J, H. Gourlie, @ passenger on board the ill-fated ‘veewel 1 teok paseage at Albany. on board of the steamer Henry Clay. 1 soon discovered evidences of a contest with some boat. which proved to be the Armenia, The Tlenry Clay got the start about a mile or two abead, and continued ahead uptii landing at Hudson where the Armenia took the weste:n channel. and did not stop ; she reached Catskill nret, and there took in passengers and provecded down the river ‘The Henry Clay also landed #t Catrkill. and took in passengers I heard one of the officers say.“ We beat her utter all—we took in twenty- two rhe took only fifteen.’ At this tine.
