ACCOUNT BY MR. JAMES LIGHTBODY. Mr. James Lightbody, of E:et Chatham, Columbia county, who travels on the line once or twice a week, in the freight busivess, was among the passengers and fur miebes a short description of the accident. According to Bis account the accident must have occurred about ten o'¢iock ov Wednesday night, Most of the passengers bad Fetived to rest. Mr. Lightbody bimeclf bad just Partially undressed himself. and got into bed, when he Board ihe alarm of “fire,” “fire,” and trampling of feet 40a confused and hurried manver, He sprang from bed an instant, palled open the door of his stateroom and Povked out to sec what was the matter. A red giere was al) over the sky, and looking amicships he saw that a fire was raging on the veesci. It was the work of a moment for bim to draw back, dress himself and rash out into the statercom hall with a view to ascertaining the extent of the danger and burning. A fearful bat won- sderiu!ly subdued excitement prevailed among the passen- gere, who were all making for the forward part of the Beat, which portion was least exposed, the fire having Bot Fet reached there. The women, mavy of whoin were among the passengers, were to be seen hurrying for- ward, some with children io their arms, and but haif @lothed themselves, having been suddenly aroused from their beds by the alarm. Captain George ‘H. Powers, one of the owners, was in the hall vwsing every means tn bis power to calm the the fears of abe pasteoge:s and induce them to act without precipita. tion or contusion Mr. Lightbody continues his statement Pbas.—Captain Vowers directed the passengers all to get ue ives in tbe forward part of the vessel, and to tdcrowaing together and abstain from unuecessary He told them if they kept cool ther would ed, ag every precaution was being taken by Ss of thé boat.
