was blowing fresh every thing promised a picas-

eiplnduii was heard, and iimnudiutuly, install-
tmicoualy almost tin* whole vussel wus enveloped
in flumes. Cupt. Titus, who was on tlie upper
deck at the time, rushed to the Ladies’ Cabin lo
ohtniii tlm* file preservers, of whtrh there were
DO to 100 on board, hot so rapid hud been the
progress of the Humus, ho (buiiti it impossible lo

sequence of the flames lie could not reach the en

to put tlie helm hard a slur hoard. The vcs-el
swung slowly round, liuailing tlm shore, ulid Ihu
boats—theru were tlirCeou board—were tin'll or

lowered, but ill consequence of Ihu heavy sea oil,
and tho head way ofthu vessel, they both snailip

tittle those on board dm Clinton hud tlleir feelings
