AnilIIIONAI. DETAILS.
p HAIITFOUU , Gt. , May 18. The body
of Mrs. 0. L. Main , uf New llavou ,
waa secured , She was on her brlail
trip , and sprang overboard with her
husband. They sank three times ,
when Miln b.cjmo entangled lu the
paddle wheel aad was saved. It Is
now thought Mra. Main aud the
second ctK.k , nnmod Jjtckaou , ( a
colored man ) are the only persons
drowned. Two deck passenger * are
unaccounted for , however.
The insurance , $400,000 , Is dis
tributed otralnst qulto a number of
companies , The cirgo was valued at
from S39.0CO to $50,000 , belonging
mostly to Hartford merchants. It
was shipped at senders or consignees'
risk.
Holloway , clerk of the boat , says
when the whistle for landing at Good
speed was blown , ho propoeod to send
tin shipph g papsru ashore that be
longed there. No pvaungers were to
bo lauded and but little freight. No
fire was discovered until the boat waa
wi'.hln A few fees ofthu dock. Hello
way hastened to invake the passen
gers. Meantime the agent on shore
had the head and midship lines
lastenod , but the boat was a tew feat
away from the dock. Not till this
time did thcsu on ahoro discover the
amoko , but in n very short time the
ilimea burst out. Soon after , when
most cf the paisongors had gathered
on deck , the boat bsgin to awing
away from the dock , und power to
handle her from the pilot house and
engine room was lester the fire hnd
driven thu engineer from hla post ,
whore ho remained till the boll wlrea
no longer worked , end the vessel WAS
at the mercy of the tldo. The
hawser wan seized by twenty
mun. who put their whole
strength to the task of pulling
the bout to the dock and after a atoady
pull , which at flrdt sooinod of no avail ,
the boat began to move inward aud
planka were got elf and passenger *
wont inhere In reasonably good order.
Theie was of course much fear and
excitement during the struggle to roach
the dock , but no loud demonstration : .
There wore occasional exceptions
among the few omigranta rrfio b came
very much exalted. In pulling the
hawser to roach dock the forward
hawser broke , having boon weakened
by the flame. There were 801113
passengers who had becorco con ,
fused and did not understand
Oapt , Holloway'a directions and ru-
inaluod in the forward ond. There
were soma cases dropped Into the
water. Others took hold of the haw
aer bofora It gave way and wont hand
over hand ashore. Two email boats
were brought up , and they were devoted -
voted to persons atruggling lu the
water- The ferry boat was towed up
and upon this all in the water were
taken. No one of this escaping
crowd is known to have been lost.
Nine horses were burned belonging '
to J. M Klngsley , of Deep River.
Another horse got overboard and
swam ashore. Mr. and Mrs. George
Pratt , of Mlddletown , and their TO
BOUS , were returning from n ,
where they had attended the wedding
of their daughter , a deaf mute , igr >
rled to a deaf mute. The brldo asked
her parents to take the wedding pros-
oatf to her former home for Bafe ,
keeping. All were lost. Mra. G. S
Hunt and daughter , of Naw York ,
were rescued with difficulty. lea
Hunt was taken Into two nt
boats , both caps'ztng.
C.tll'ord D Main , husband of the
brldo loit , ssyg ; The first I knew the
boat WAS on fire waa by toeing smoke
coming out of my stateroom I had
been aroused by criea outside but did
not know what tha commotion meant.
"Wo got up hurriedly and only partially
dressed and went Into the hall , which
was fast filling with smoke and passed '
through to the forward dock. There
wo stood for n moment to decide what
waa best to do. I could not swim , bul
I saw the hawser fastened to the dock >
and thought I could got hold of thai
and get both of us ashore. There wore
other people la the water at the tlmo.
I grasped my wlfo firmly around the
waist and told her to bo of good courage
ago and wo would ba saved , Then 1
lowered myself to the guirdand we
stood up together for the plunge , md
went into the water. Wo sank rlgh
away , but soon came to the surface i
and I was about to catch hold of tin
hawser , when It broke , and It seomei
oa if there wai no hope for ns. Dowi
again wo went , clinging faac to oacl
other , and the second time rose to
tlio Rurfaoa. I was strangled and fast
lotltig strength , and could coo no
means of escape. The third time wo
went down I scarcely know what Imp
pouud. Mv nifo had separated from
mo and I fituul myself clutching a
wheel , and there remained drifting
with the eteaibcr until a boat came
out- and picked mo oil. "
