Steamboat Disaster—Kanawha Valley
Burned—Loss $10,090—No Live*
Lost.
The Memphis and White river mail packet
Kanawha Valley, Capt. D. B. Price, destined
for Memphis, was discovered on fire about 5
o’clock Monday morning the 5th inst., at Ship
Island, on the Arkansas shore. The flames
made rapid progress, and the boat was imme
diately rug ashore, and the passengers taken
off. The Kanawha Valley was about five
years old, and has been in the White river
trade for two years past. She was owned by
Capt. Charley Coles, and valued at $8000. She
was insured at Cincinnati for $6000. Below
we append a statement made by passengers :
On Board Steamer H. D. Mears, )
August 6, 1861. y
We, the undersigned passengers on board
the steamer Kanawha Valley, hereby certify
that, about 5 o’clock on the morning of the
ivlu ml jtvuKjiiaij ioui, a me urujiB uui ill uie
hull of tlie above named steamer, which1
threatened to consume the boat in a few min
utes. The pilot immediately ran thfe boat in.
shallow water, near a sand bank, some hun
dred and fifty yards from the shore.
This happened at an early hour, but few
passengers were up, but owing to the vigilance
of the officers on duty the alarm was properly
given, and upon examination it was found that
a passage in front was impossible, so the offi
cers and passengers determined to save the
ladies and children, threw them from the ca
bin overboard.
Then came scenes of horror and distress
perfectly indescribable, when fathers, hus
bands and friends were to force women and.
children to seek their destiny an the waters of
the great Mississippi river. Never, nevercan
we forget the words of kindness and encour
agement of the brave and gallant officers and
crew, who stood in the river ready and willing
to rescue each one as they were consigned to
the water; and after the great battle was
fought they did all in their power to make us
comfortable, by erecting shelters to protect us
from the burning .rays of the sun on a sand
bar, and at the same time administering to the
wants 'of all the rescued, until felief came
from the steamer Mears.
The loss sustained jby the passengers was
very small. We think one thousand dollars
will cover all. Some eight hundred dollars of
that amount was in money. While we give ail
crdit to the gallant Captain Price and his offi
cers, we hereby tender our kindest regards and
heartfelt thanks' for their kindness in this our
great distress. Having passed through our
troubles to come out victorious, we cannot for
get the noble and generous conduct of the well
known Captain Berry and Ms gallant crew,
who did all they could to cheer and revive th«
spirits of the unfortunate passengers. , (
P- S—Our porter, a yellow boy, named
Charles Spratling, immortalized himself. May
his shadow never grow less. The greatest loss
was that of Dr. McClure, $490; also of Miss
Ada Moulton, $57, and a small loss by Mr.
Oates. J. T. O.
