Letter from Washington-
Washington, D. C, August 7, '73.
About half past eleven o'clock Inst
sight news reached tjiis city o a terri
ble disaster the burning of a stoavner
on the Potomac. People wore juso re
turning from the schuctzenfest and the
news spread rapidly through the city.
Even at that late hour crowds soon
gathered at the street corners and news
offices anxious to obtain some definite
information. The steamer burned, the
Wawaset, was well known as an excur
sion boat, and it was feared she bad on
board a largo party of pleasure-seekers,
but a digpatoli from Fredericksburg an
nounced that the o'.crk's list numbered
only about ooo hundred and fifty pas
sengers. The boat started on her regular trip
down the liver yesterday morning, most
of her passengers iutending to stop at
various points for a week's holiday iu
the country. About eleven o'clock, just
as sue was stoppiug at tho landing at
Chatterton's Point, where there is no
wharf, all on board were startled by a
cry of "Fire! Fire!!" and the flames
were seca issuing from the hold of the
vessel. The captain and crew made
every effoit to maintain order among the
panic-stricken passengers, but in vain.
They then turned their attention to the
fire and endeavored to extiuguish the
flumes, but it was too late. In fifteen
minutes the fire had made such head
way that it was eutirely beyond control.
There were two boats belonging to the
steamer, and one was immediately filled
and lowered, but by some mishap the
entire party were pitched into the water
and the boat lost. The vessel was headed
tor the shore and struck about 200 yards
from land on the Virginia side. And
now', as the boat rapidly became wrapped
in sheets ot name, the scene is described
as terrible. As the passengers leaped
into the water the crew stood on deck
and threw down to them stools, barrels,
and anything that would float, while
the people of tho neighborhood, who
had by this time perceived the disaster,
stood on shore powerless to render any
assistance. The captain was the last
man to leave the boat and is said to have
maintained his self-possession through
out the trying scene.
I no number ot lives Jost cannot te
positively stated as yet. It was placed
as high as forty or fifty this morning but
that was doubtless an exaggeration.
Many conflicting rumors are circulated
and it is impossible to ascertain the truth
A steamer arrived this morning bring
ing twenty-five survivors and eleven
dead bodies. The scene at the wharf
was mournful beyond description
Three of the dead were babies who
have been identified. Another was
little boy of four jears, who lay beside
his aunt, white and still as marble. Near
this child lay the bodies of four colored
children from two to five years old who
were unclaimed. Whether their parents
lost their lives at the same lime or are
still at the scene of tho wreck searching
for their little ones is unknown.
One case in particalar is so sad as to
awaken sympathy in the hardest heart,
.lhe wife, three children ana auot o!
Officer Reed of tho police force were on
board, and it is feared are all lost. Tho
bodies of the auot and one child have
been recovered and brought to the city
Strong hopes are entertained that some
of the others may be fcund safe. JMaoy
of the passengers on hoard were colored
people, and the excitement among their
friends in this city is intense.
The cause of tho fire is unknown, but
it is thought to have originated in the
engine-room. The matter will be
thoroughly investigated at once and tho
result ot tuu inquiry given to the pub
lie. aue Wawaset has been running
about eight years and was recently re-
fitted and supposed to be in perfect
order, bhe was valued at 3o.0U0 and
insured for 828,000. This terrible dis
aster has cast a gloom over the whole
city, and ell hearts aro filled with syra
pathy for those who are tho 'reatet
sufferers.
The Dead Letter Oflico of the
Post Office Department has been full of
business. During the mouth of July
the business done was as follows: Urdi
nary letters received, 221,745; drop let
ters received, 30,900; letters held for
postage received, 27,252; wrougly-di-
'rectcd letters received, 4,701; hotel let
ters received, 2,252; letters dirocted to
fictitious persons, C'JO; registered letters.
