STEAM BOAT LEXINGTON DESTROYED BY KIBE.
AND NEARLY TWO"HUNDRED LIVES LOST!!
The Lexington left New York for Stoning
tou on Monday, 3 o’clock, P. M. having, it is
believed, about one hundred and fifty passen
ger*. A large quantity of Cotton was placed j
upon her decks. At 7 o’clock, when about
two miles from Eaton’s Neck, the cotton took
tire near the smoke pipe.
The boat was headed for the shore as soon 1
as the efforts lo extinguish the fire proved un
successful.—She was provided with three
boats—yet such was tlie panic which look pos
session ofall minds, that they were hoisted out j
while the boat was still under head-way and :
immediately swamped. The engine a low !
minutes after gave wv, leaving her utterly !
unmanageable. The scene w Inch then ensu
ed is described as most appalling.
Captain Chester Hilliard, of Norwich, a pas
senger on board from whom we have gathered
these few particulars, states that soon after the
engine stopped, the passengers began to leave
the boat on boxes, bides, &c. In company
with one of the Firemen lie was so fortunate ns
to secure a cotton bale, to which lie lashed !
himself. He remained upon tins bale, the !
wind blowing off Long Island shqre, until 11
o’clock this morning, when he was taken up
by the sloop Merchant, of Southport.
Ills companion in life mean time had been I
released by death from bis sufferings. Two !
others were taken up by the sloop, a fireman j
Htid the Pilot of the boat. Both were nearly j
insensible. It is surprising that any should j
have survived the exposure. There is too
much reason to fear that the three arc the only \
survivors. It is. however, possible that others j
may have been saved.
The boat drifted up the Sound with the tide, i
and wasoffthe harbor about midnight. Capt. j
11. States that she sank at 3 o’clock, as he mar- |
ketl the time by bis watch.
The efforts which last night were made, in
this vicinity and at Soulhpott, to po in aid of
the sufferers proved, owing to the ice in the
hat hors, and toother untoward circumstances,
entirely unavailing.
M e letirp that a qont which succeeded ill
getting out of Southport harbor, after reaching
the middle of the Sound was compelled to re
turn.
The account which we have given of this
awful eatastrophe, is exceedingly imperfect.
It may be well imagined that our informant is
hardly in a situatition to furnish many details.
FURTIIBH PARTfjQLIARS.
The Editors of the Journal of Commerce
have been favored with the following letter
Captain Brooks, of the steamer Nimrod, dated
Steamer Nimrod, 1
Jan. 15. 184 0. )
I have seen Capt. Chester Milliard, one of j
the survivors from the destruction of the steam- i
er Lexington on Monday night last by fill
(com him gather the following p'.utieiuais.
The boat left N. York at 3 o’clock—lie thinks
with about ISO passengers and full freight.
About linlf past seven in the evening, heard
the cry ‘of ft re, he run on deck, and suw the fire ‘
bursting through the wood-work round the
chimney. All was confusion and terror in a
moment. He run up to the wheel to advise
running for the shore, which ■Capt. Childs in
formed him they were doing, he being up at
the wheel, lie then ran down or deck.
An attempt had been made to rig the fire en
jiu'e on board, and did not succeed. They
tushed for tlie boats, and jumped in, to the
Lumber he thinks of 20 in each, and lowered
iV iri down, while the boat was under full
headway, and they were filled immediately,
aid he is of opinion that not one of them es
caped.
The life boat was thrown over, but caught
the water wheel, and was lost. lie saw sev- |
eral floating with life preservers, but Capt. 11.
thinks none survived until morning. He ad
vised tumbling over the cotton bales, and as
sisted, ho thinks, in getting over 10 or I'd, and
lashed himself to one.
When the steamboat stopped, which she did
from some cause to itirn unknown, a man by
the name of Cox, employed on board, got on
with him about Bo’cloek, and the braces under
tlie guards were full of persons, having gain
ed that position as the last resort.
He remained on the bale of cotton, and was
taken off by Captain Meeker, of Sloop Mer
chant, of Southport. They discovered the fire
soon after it broke out, and attempted to get
out of the harbor, hut it being shallow, and
the tide falling, they caught aground, and did
not gel out until morning tide. Cox died
about 8 o’clock, on the bale with him.
Capt. Manchester, the pilot, and Charles
Smith, boat-hand, and Capt. Hvlliard, are
supposed lobe alt that arc saved. Two bodies
were found, one supposed to be the steward,
and Cox as mentioned above, and were taken
to Southport. Capt. Iltliiard is now on board,
from Bridgeport lo New-York.
