She] carried two boilers with a compound engine. It was the boiler on the starboard side that burst. LOSS AND INSURANCE.

Oswego, N, Y., Sept. 30.—Captain John Allen, of the schooner Ida Walker, when about two miles from here, about 10 o'clock last night, was knocked overboard by the boom. His son Albert jumped into the lake to save him, and both were drowned. LOSS OF THE' NORWAY, y CAPTAIN CRAWFORD'S STATEMENT. \ Captain Crawford, of the wrecked schoonei Norway, states that he first got the gale of wind when off Port Burwell. The gale increased until lie was down near Long Point, when it moderated a little, but not enough to get under the Point, so he had to go on to Port Colborne. When1 he got about fifteen miles below the Point the! wind went back to the southwest, and the wind' and seas increased so much, and he had so much! timber on deck, that he could not haul out to get1 to Buffalo, so he could do nothing but try to' mako Port Colborne harbor. He placed confidence in the vessel as she handled splendidly. He says he ranged the lights and got into the piers all right and ran into the little lighthouse, but could not carry canvas to get any further. He depended upon the tugs getting him, but the tug men did not scent much interested, and the vessel lapped on the pier. Before he let go his anchor he hallooed to the tug to hurry and get hold of them, but it did not seem to do any good, so the anchor was cast and her stern post knocked CHATTiTAitf, Ont., Sept. 13.—The sidewheej steamer Queen Victoria was discovered to be oi fire about 4 o'clock this morning. When tin alarm was given the flames had made such headway that the crew barely escaped with their! lives. The fireman was severely burned. The.; steamer was about six miles down the river, and' had been loading wood. The engineer, who lives near the wood dock, went home about 9 o'clock last evening. No fire was in the furnace and there were no lights on board at the time of the alarm. The crew suffer much personal loss. Captain Stamour loses $200 in cash, hia gold watch and chain, and only escaped in his night clothing. His heroism in arousing the crew and throwing open the windows of the state-rooms, is the subject of grateful remark. The vessel was insured in the National of Ireland and Caledonia Companies for $10,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. Various theories have been advanced, the most probable of which is that a spark from tho passing barge Manitoba caused the disaster. The ovvncraoiWiedlUWUMlU!

It was raining and blowing hard and very thick. The captain says all hands were on deck and a strict lookout kept. The light on the point could be seen, and they thought they were farther off land than they proved to be. The first they knew of the danger was seeing the breakers ahead, but too late to avoid striking. She went on with full force, and is well , out of water. Yesterday the sea kept working her further in. She is full of water to j the level of the lake, but the captain thinks ; the leak is caused by the oakum working' out I of the Beams, She is in only two or three of water, and will have to be dredged '¦o, N.
