Tho concussion was torrlflc, shattering the forward part of tbo ,boat and killing and scalding a great number of people. Tho hurricane deck, was carried overboard nnd fell on a large number of persons' In the water, cautlng them to drown. The iceno beggared description. Men were 1 1 ruck dumb at tho loss of their wives and little one., wumcn were dtitractcd at having lost tbclr husbands, and children were crving for tbeir parents who were lost. The front of tho boiler was suddenly blown out, . lodging in the bow, thirty feet distant. The forward part ' of tho boat, upper cabin nnd all, was instan'.ly shivered and split into thousands of pieces; as an cyo witness expresses it:-"The' forward part of the boat was lifted fifty feet in tbo air, tbo smoke stack fell and everything, was buried in the hold." Passengers, chairs, stools, benches and life-preservers dropped into the held front ing tho huge boiler, which poured out a steady volun.o of (team. Many persons were blown ovorboard. A father and mother had three children blown from their arms. The water in an instant was alive with men. women and children. struggling- for lite. The after-part of tho boat,.which escap ed tho forco of the explosion, would have been safe for tbo uninjured, but they wcro panic-stricken, and leaped overboard with out regard to the consequences. Cpt. Ullman, of the now street polico hearing tho explosion, was promptly on hand. A flrc-alarm was sounded. Dr. Shine was nt tho see no of the disaster within 10 minutes, well provided with medicines and bandruroi, and cool and col lected he saved several lives by his pru dence. "Within 20 minute Inspector Jamison 'was on the ground directing tbo efforts of the polico and keeping back tbo multitude; Many' persons weredrowncd. Tho harbor polico came to tho rescue, and somo gen tleman who .wcro in row-boats near tho battery saved several lives. As fast aa tho wounded were recovered they were borne to tho deck of another ferry-boat, moored alongside, where" they wcro' tenderly cared for by Vr. b'hl.ic. Uy 4 o'clock over alnoty wounded per sons had been received in tbo Centro street hospital, five- 'of whom died within tin hour. The scenes here wcro heartrending. Twelve dead bodies woro removed from the boat; four havo since been found in the water, and flvo havo died, making so far as known twenty-ono persons killed, nearly outright. Many of tboso in tbo water clung to tho piles until thoy were rescued, but oth'ors sunk beforo aia could reach thorn. . At least thirty-Qvo persons' must havo been killed and drowned. This is basing it on tho lowest estimate Tho wounded will reach 100. Many of them wero placed in carriages and driven to, tbeir homes. The drug stores in tho neighborhood wero filled with thorn. Among tbo injured was Sheriff Madden, of Brooklyn, who was driven to his rcsldonce. Over 15,000 persons gathered at tho bat tery within an hour after tho explosion. John Mayer, pilot, was thrown from for ward of tho plfol-hottso 20 feet In tho air, falling on tho boat and escaping without a scratch. John Kroeland was captain of .Iia lui.l II...I, 1?1tl,ir,n.
