She sank after the remainder of the boat had been destroyed this morning, but her machinery will probably be raised. The four men aboard had a uarrow escape with their lives, having to leave even their clothee in the burning craft. The only solution to the mystery is that tramps got aboard and prob- ably dropped a coal or spark on the floor below. They were sometimes allowed to sleep aboard, and there was no watchman, The Nellis was a handsome little craft, and had been inthe tie trade for some time. This is the second towboat to be burned within a few miles of Paducah in the past few weeks, the other one being the Joho D.
