Key West authorities have issued

FIRE AT SEA.
KVMUEH lb
Could tho (lames have been con
fined to tho fore part of tho ship to
their final extinction, the foremast
would hafo been cut away to save
the after-masts and rigging. As it
was, destruction war inevitable, and il
were better tho flame should spread
and ascend to tho royal’s height and
act as beacon to the pressing danger,
as vessels per chance passing within
sight of such a light would bear down
towards the disaster for the purpose
of relieving distress or the satisfying
of curiosity.
Prom this cause the captain, after
taking to the boats, had determined
to lay by the burning wreck till day
light broke upon the scene. The sea
was not running so high, "but with
care and seamanship tho boats could
he lowered and launched oft’ from the
ship in safety. IVater, provisions,
etc., were procured to a limited extent,
and every preparation for departure
from that floating palace—now so re
cently and from some unknown cause
turned into a vast cremating machine,
which not otic on board could appre
ciate iit that particular moment—was
made in silence by the crew; and
even the officers—men of line parts
and culture gave their orders
apparently indifferent to the suffer
ing and distress which surrounded
t lieii*.
Were those brave hearts indifferent
; to the suffering or void of all sympa
thy for the distress they witnessed?
Were they not suffering and in dis
! tress also? Yes, but they dared not,
| would not show it, for the ship was
1 no longer a place of refuge nor of
safety, and a deep responsibility rest
ed with them, which terminated only
with existence while under their care,
to provide for the safety of those
whose beseeching cries and henrt
■ rending appeals for delivoranco were
apparently so heedlessly neglected.
Persons in such positions require
something mor • tangible than mere
assurances. This the officers knew,
and as no time could be lost their
seeming indifference was their truest
manifestation of that which they
seemed not to possess, for in this in
difference depended tho safety of all
as far as human aid could extend.
For the rest they must trust in Provi
dence, to whom many a heartfelt
prayer ascended for protection and
deliverance.
The devouring element gradually
gained in strength, but now meeting
with no further opposition (for exer
tion is useless), acted with renewed !
energy in its fell purpose of destruc
tion, and it was not long ere the
forked flames, licking the combustible
gear, were running up the fore
shrouds, attacking' everything in their
course, shedding au unnatural and
gloomy light not only on immediate
objects beneath their glare, but far
Off into tho distance. As the flames
extended, so did the heat, nnd the
blanched countenances of despair
which defrayed *ho mental anguish
of the soul within must be seen to bo
realized.
The flames, no longer kept in check
from the combustible nature of the
rigging, soon spread to the main
shrouds and gear. The main course,
mizzen, ctothicy topsail, top-gallant
sail and royal had keen stowed, and
it now remained to put up the helm
and let her fall off before the wind as
a relief from the heat, which w as now
becoming seriously oppressive. It
was not long ere the main topsail,
top-gallant sail and royal were en
veloped by the mystic destroyer, and
the ship lost her way through tlie
water, while the breeze sending the
flumes forward fanned the heat from
tho poop, causing the after part of
tho ship to he more tenablo, though
far from comfortable, whilst tho most
active preparations were making for
a speedy departure. The pinnace
slowo*l amidships had some time been
over the ship’s side, and dropped to
the quarter in charge of four stout
hands. The quarter boats were hang
ing at tho cevits, and every exertion
is made for a final separation from
11 10 doomed vessel, which now laid
like a log upon the water, having no
impetus. Tl*re was no steerage way,
which rendered the launching of tho
beats and shipping of the almost
helpless but living freight more haz
ardous.
At length, all things completed, the
word was given and the boats being
lowered with the utmost care, escaped
further accident than the shipping of
a little water, which, being bailed im
mediately, were soon ready to receive
their forlorn and partially despairing
occupants. Tho lad : -and children
were eased down in a chair by a whip
attached to the traveler of the spanker
boom, and such was the admirable
arrangement of the officers that the
shipment, or transhipment, which
ever you please, was effected in per
fect safety and with little confusion,
considering tho occasion—themselves
being the last to leave tho burning
ship. Each boat (six in number) had
its own proportion of provisions, and
was in charge of an officer, general or
petite, and each had his instructions,
which wi re to bang together ns long
as weather would permit; to look out
for and signal an approaching vessel, j
and, if separated from stress of
weather, they must trust to Provi
dence and their own exertions in j
making the nearest land.
All being ready, the boats were cut
adrift and dropped a respectable dis
tance from the novel and,to those affec
ted, dreadful conflagration. The scene
before ns, omitting that of our own
position, was one of sublime and ter
rific grandeur, for before us lay a no
ble specimen of marine architecture,
enveloped in flames from kelson to
truck, vomiting smoke and ejecting
flame which made night hideous—
illuminating not only the scene around
but even the sky, tinging it with red,
a token of what was passing beneath
and an effective signal to all vessels
that might be within or near the angle
of reflection. And in this was our
only hope in the midst of despair,
whilst deep were the sighs and sobs
of those more gently nurtured, and
who a few hours previous anticipated
a speedy and pleasant passage to the
home of their childhood and the
friends of their youth.
[TO r,F. CONTINUED.]
Prof. Gray stated at a successful
telephone concert in Washington that
tli3 electric waves of sound sent
through a single wire are frequently
; conveyed inductively by other wires
| running parallel with it on the same
i poles though entirely disconnected.
| This statement was verified in tho
! Washington office of the New York
I Associated Press, where a number of
I the tunes played in Philadelphia were
! distinctly heard oil a “relay” used in
| tho office, which had no connection
whatever with the wire that was at
tached to the telephone. The tones
thus conveyed, although not loud,
were audible at a distance of several
yards from the instrument.
A religious war is raging in the
South America Republic of Colombia.
On the one side are the Roman Cath
olicy clergy and their adherents, and
on the other so-called Liberals.
Unlike some South American wars,
this contest has so far been attended
fay much bloodshed and wide devas
tation. Neither party is inclined to
show mcrev to the other, and it is not
probable that strife will cease until ei
ther the clergy or their enemies shall
have been crushed.
Tho fiftieth anniversary of the
pope’s elevation to tho episcopacy
takes place on the 21st of next month,
and it is expected that pilgrims,
bearing rich presents from all parts
of tho Christian world will visit Rome.
The Canadian pilgrims sailed last
week from New York. The contri
butions from tho United States are
more likelv to exceed than to fall be
low $500,000.
It is announced that President
Hayes has decided hereafter not to
permit the names of persons designa
ted to be postmasters to be made pub
lic until the day their commission is
made out, in grder that opponents of
tho persons appointed may not have a
chance to bring political pressure to
bear against them.
We feel for Congressman Tarbox,
of Massachusetts. This is his quail
dary: “The Administration runs the
Democratic policy as clearly as though
it had been born in it. Is Mr. Hayes
a Democrat, or am la Republican?
Really I don’t feci sure of my political
identity.”
Mr. Blame, of Maine, would like to
be Mr. Blaine, of the United States
of America, and a good many people
would like to help him. But Mr.
Blaine is a little like a flea on on a hot
griddle—ho can’t keep quiet long
enough for anybody to take him off
Herctfff.
Governor Colquitt, as we learn from
a Washington special to tho Balti
more Sun is in Washington city, for
the purpose of receipting for the mon
ey duo tho State on account of the
Western and Atlantic Railway claim.
No Southern statesman who re
gards principle, and holds it above
expediency, will lend oar to tho bar
gains proposed by the Fraudulent
i’resident. There is an old story
about selling your birthright.

Mr. Randall has the pledges of 82 of
the 151 Democratic Congressmen to
