As the boats ranged side by side they careened over toward each other officers flew hither and thither, cursing and storming, trying to; drive the people amidships both captains were leaning over the railfists at eaeh ings shaking their other, swearing and threatening black volumes .of smoke rolled up 'and canopied the scene, delivering a rain of sparks upon the 'vessels two pistol shots rang out, and both captains dodged unhurt, and the packed mass of passengers surged back and fell apart? while the. shrieks of women and children' vsoared above the intolerable din. And then there was a booming roar, a thundenn crash.' and the riddled .Amaranth dropped loose from their hold and drifted hopelessly away. Instantly, the fire doors; of the Boreas were thrown open, and the men began dashing buckets of water in the furnaces, for it would have been death" and destruction to stop the engines with such a h3ad of eteam on. As soon as possible the Boreas dropped down to tha .floating wreck, and took off hefdead, the wounded and the unhurt, at least all that could be got at, for the whole forward half of the boat was a shapeless ruin, with the great chimneys lying across on the top of it, and underneath were a dozen victims imprisoned alive, and'wailinp; for help. While men with axes worked with miht and main to free these psor fellows, the Borca's boats went about nickin" un stragglers from the river. And now a uew horror presented itsp.lf. The wreck took fire from Never did rfc a dismantled furnaces will than heartier men work with a with braves axes, stalwart did those but it was of no use. The fire ate its way steadily, despising the bucket brirra de that fousht it.

Say I was killed instantly, and never knew what hurt me though God knows I've neither scratch nor bruise this momentl It's hard to burn up ia a coop like this, with the whole wide world so near. Good-by- e boys we've all last to come at to it got anyway." The Boreas stood away out of danger, and the ruined steamer went drifting down the stream, an island of wreathing and climbing flame,that vomited clouds of smoke from time to time, and glared more fiercely and sent the luminous tongues higher and higher, after each emission. shriek at intervals told of a captive that had met his doom. The wreck lodged upon a sand bar, and when the Boreas turned the next point on her upward joarney, it was still burning with scarcely abated fury. . W a en tho boya came down into the main saloon of the Boreas they saw a pitiful sight, and and heard a world of pitiful sounds. Eleven poor creatures .ay dead, and forty more lay moaning, or pleading," or screaming, while a score of Good Samaritans moved among them, doing what they could to relieve their sufferings, bathing their skinless faces and bodies with linseed oil and lime water, and covering the places with bulging masses of raw cotton, that gave to every face and , form a dreadf ul and inhuman aspect. , A little wee French" midshipman of fourteen lay fearfully injured, but never uttered a sound till a physician of Memphis was about to dress his hurts.
