INVOLUNTARY BLEACHING.
Hafloratlns la Mid Oeeaa-300 uimn Belnna
Nearly 1 halted la Death-Frtaatfiit Sceaea
Haard the steamship JCaslaad.
Tuesdav. the 12th day of last month, the
FteamshlD England, of the National line, cleared
from Queenetown for New York, with a general
cargo, among which was a large number of
barrels of bleaching powder and about 200
steerage and cabin passengers. After having
been five days out in a storm, during which tbe
chip had sustained no other damage than the
admittance to her hold of a small quantity of
water, a new danger aud one which spread
terror and consternation among tne crew
well as the passengers burst upon them. Tbe
engineers, tbe firemen, and in fact all who were
working be low, were suddenly seized with a
violent fit of coughing, which was followed by
extreme
DIFFICULT! OF RESPIRATION.
The whole air about them seemed to be Im
pregnated with the most offensive fumes, such
as Iiad never neiore greeted lueir ouactories,
and which continued rrpldly to grow in density,
until they all began to glance about in a suspi
cious manner for the stairway or any other
means of exit to tbe main or spar
deck above, so as to be sure of getting
out to the fresh air should matters be
come still more serious. They bad not long
to wait, however, for soon the wind, which
was as fierce as ever, shifted "dead ahead,"
which blew tbe fumes back to where the
men were working, when, with a rush, all haadi
made a break for tbe deck; and if those who
first gained it looked pallid and exhausted, those
who were Ices fortunate, and did not, owing to
tbe crowd, get up unui some seconds alter,
looked ghastly indeed as they clambered out
and fell senseless to the deck, their eyes almost
protruding from tbeir sockets, their mouths wide
open, anu with death imprinted upoa every
lineament of Ibelr countenances.
To the deck!" "To the deck!" was now the
crv. and men, women, and children were soon
bnddled together on the forward part of the
spar-deck. Now all hands were set to work to
remove, if possible, the cause of all this great
alarm. The hatches were opened, wheu upon
making a thorough examination It wan found
that tbe barrels of bleaching powder had shifted
about and. owing to the violent motion of the
hip, bad broken open, and tbe powder becom
ing mixed with the water which waa constantly
being shipped, although In small quantities,
canted
TBI STirLIHO FUMES.
In vain did the gallant sailors try to remove
theie barrels and throw them overboard. To go
down to them was certain death, and so the only
alternative was to try and remove them by
means of grappling Irons; bnt this too proved a
failure, for, although the men were very fre
quently relieved, they soon found it impossible
to stand over the hatchway long enough to even
f et bold of a larre', to say nothing of drawing
t to the deck.
It was now determined to get the firemen
below If such a thing were possible, and accord
ingly the grating over tbe fire-room waa re
moved and a man let down by means of
A ROPK CMDEB IIIS ARMS
held by two men on deck. He remained a few
minutes, when he was overpowered by tbe fumes
and had to be hauled np again. This operation
was repeated time and again, but always with
tbe Fame result, and the captain very soon saw
tbat if he wanted to save the lives of himself
and those on board with him he mast get the
vessel before the wind and return to Queens
town. Everything of braes, Iron, or copper about the
ship was fast turning a sort of white or pearl
color, and the men who had to handle shovels,
Lars, or anything tbat this sediment, as it were,
had accumulated upon, soon had their hands so
badly eaten tbat they cracked open and rendered
tbem powerless to longer work.
Matters were now becoming so very serious
that no time was to be lost, and without further
delay the captain began getting
HIS SHIP nEFORB TUB WINI.
which was are long accomplished. The pas
sengers were enabled to return to the saloon
again, as tbe wind was now aft, and. of course,
blew tbe fumes ahead of the ship. ' By dint of
good management, although under difficulties,
tbe vessel made a good run before the wind, and
on the 21ft of January she made the harbor of
Queenstown, where she discharged her passen
cers, who sbfpped again four days later on tbe
Italy, and arrived at this port on Friday last;
the crew of the England in tbe meantime being
ec gaped in getting the bleaching powder out of
her hold, which was done by means of grap
pling books.
It is understood that she sailed again oa the
27th.
A SINGULAR WILL.
A Hint to Wives that May be Profitable.
A will, which was admitted to probate
Cincinnati last week, bequeathed one-third
in
of
tbe testator s estate to bis widow, and tbe re
mainder to his daughter. The will says that the
widow snail receive but one-third, tbe amount
demanded by law, because she has an ample for
tune of her own, and because sue deprived mm
of the opportunity to make more money by in-,
ducing bim to give up bu&iuess soouer than be
otherwise would. He desired that daguerreo
types of himself shall be presented to two of his
friends, and tbat a worn got np by bim contain
ing the original play bills of Edwin Forrest
sbaii be given to mat gentleman, to ne preserved
in tbe library which Mr. Forrest proposes to
give for the use of the dramatic profession at
his death. He provides that his executor
shall pay to tbe trustees of Spring
Grove Cemetery 1300 to keep in repair
his lot, and makes the remark, "When old
folks die and their money is distributed, their
graves are often neglected." He also leaves
tlOO to keep in repair bis mother's grave, in
New Castle, Delaware; and add, in connection
with this bequest, that when in Philadelphia he
searched in vain for his father's remains, de
siring to lay them beside those of his mother,
"but tne heathens sold bis nones to build big
churches. Tbis Is called Christianity !
Heathens would not do so." To a friend of his
youth In Philadelphia he leaves his flute and
llageoiet.

For the scoundrels select what Is sore
To be entered by Jimmy and crow.
