During the Lift years of tlio war I was nerving in thu capacity of petty officer ou the United States ship of war E t.ex. , Sotue tune during the month ef March, | 18<!.3, and while wo were lying at our , station at Memphis, Tennessee, it wa? ; my fortune to l>o ?u eye-witness to one of the most terrible calamities pen ever i attempted to describe. 1 rtfor to the | burning of the steamer Sultana, caused ; by the bursting of her boiler from being overloaded, she having on board at the time twonty-threo hundred and bixt} i soldiers, all < f whom had just been re- ; leaved froth Confederate prisons. ] These poor fellows, as it were, almost in sight of their long-lost hemes, were ] hurled without a moment's warning to a j terrible death. There were also ou j board fort}' passengers, men, women and children ; and, besides this im- j mense load of human beings, her boiler j deck was crowded with hor.-es and ( mules. i I tirst saw the Sultana as she rounded | the point below Fort Pickering, in plain i view from our deck, and she presented ' the appearance of au immense moving i mass of human beings; it seemed as i though every foot of space, from her 1 hurricane deck down, was crowded. She 1 was loudly cheered by crowds of people, j who lined the wharves and levees. She < I steamed up by us, slowly, and tied up j alongside of a coal barge, just above i where wo were moored. It being in i the early evening, and I having busi i ness ash'.re, I thought no more of her i for some hours. I remained on shore i until noar eight bells (midnight), and us ( I came on board my own ship I noticed < that she was still there; I could distinct i ly hear the merry song of the rousta- 1 bouts, as they trundled the coal on < board, mingled with the merry making < of the soldiers. Ah, little thought they i of the terrible doom that was soon to be- < fall them I 1 I slung my liamm<>ck in the port j gangway, it being the river side of the ship, and was soon fast asleep. It seemed to me, however, that I had scarcely closed my eyes when I was awakened by a confusion of sounds and discordant cries, that seemed to come from the river. Starting up, I distinctly heard the words: " My God, help I" and I supposed of course that somo unlucky sailor had fallen overboard. About this time the shrill pipe of the boatswain's whistle souuded through the Bhip, accompanied by the hoarse call: "Turn out all hands 1" " Man the boats 1" and before I could get on deck all the boats had been maunod, and shot out in the murky darkness, it being impossible to see anything a cable's length ahead; but a more appalling scene can hardly be oonceivod. The river seemed to be alive ] with drowning men, somo praying for ] assistance, some cursing the fate which, j alter a day or two of liberty, had cou- ] doomed them to a horrible death, 1 others shrieking aloud in agony, while ever and anon you could hear the last 1 gulp of some miserable wretch as he, < screaming for assistance, sunk to | rise no more. A few words from the 1 officer of the deck told the whole story. The Hultana left the coal barge about ] two o'clook in the morning, proceeding on her way up the river ; and just after* < rounding the point, some live miles above tho city, her boilei exploded, and { she had taken flre and was burning up. Just at this time tho oaptain, who had | been awakened by the confusion, cime ont of hiso.ibin, and demanded an ex- 1 planation as to its cause. A few words 1 made tho necessary explanation. Ho 1 instantly demanded if the boats had all 1 been sent out. I told him they had, with 1 the exception of the llrst launch. This i boat was a large, unwieldy oraft, carrying twenty oars and a brass twelvepounder swivel guu amidship. She had 1 no regular crew, a id was used, prin-11 oipally, for picket duty. Tbo instant tho captain ascertained thnt she bad not been sent out, ho ordered me to man ber at once, take command, and pull out to tbe rescue. Now, although this was not in my line of duty, I promptly responded, and soon succeeded in picking up a motley crow of cooks, stewards, cabin boys and idlers. But a great difficulty to our further progress here Kresented itself. Tho launch was lying etween the ship and shore, and forward of the stern line, which was drawn taut, at a point just above the water line, and all our attempts to get tho unwieldy launch under it were vain. Here, again, tho authority of the excited captain Bolved tho problem ; he discovered our dilemma, and shouted, at tho top of his voice : " Cut iho lino and pull away." An ax was soon fouud, and the immense hawser lopped off: and we soon found ourselves drifting toward tlio gulf of Mexico. Tho crew beiug unused to pulliug an oar in concert, were unable to hold her stationary on the river, the current boing very atrong. Wo managed, however, to bring her to a standHtill at a point nearly opposito to Fort Pickering. Ordering the men to hold her stationary, bow up stream, I took my Btatiou forward bo as to bo able to assist any who might come in contact with us; and tho reader may judge something of tho number of persons in the water from tho fact that thirty-fiv<j were taken out by us iu two hours. And light hero begins tho coincidence which 1 started out to relate. It was now broad daylight ; wo liatl beeu twice nslioro with cargoes of living freight, both to lighten our load and to give thoso that were rescued a chauce to warm themselves by tho large fires that had beeu built all along the shore. Upon rtsnming our Btation t.ho third time, near tho middle of the stream, I saw floating tow.ird us what was evidently tho head of a lady, juBt abovo tho water ; all tho support she had was a side casing to a itateroom door. As she came up to tho bow of tho boat, I seized her nud drew bor aboard ; she murmured a fuiut " My God, I thunk you !" and immediately became insensible. She wis so benumbed with cold that her form was perfectly rigid; the Bailors immediately proffered round jackets and overahirtB, in which I wrapped her, uutil we could pull ashore ami deliver her into the hands of tho Sisters ol Charity. Soon after we wore towod by a gunboat to our own ship, and I heard nothing more of the lady until afternoon, when I received woid by a messenger boy that a lady wishe 1 to see mo at. the Overton hospital. I repaired thither immediately, and found tho woman we had rescued lying on a cot, in a verj leeDie condition, but tenderly cared for. She poured out her thunkH for her deliverauoe, but mourned deeply for her husband and little girl, with whom she was on her way up the river. They were from Texas on their way North. Shasuid h' r husband had four thousand dollars in gold concealed about his person, and never sould have kept afloat any leDgth of time. Her little girl she had not seen Jineo going to bed in her stateroom. When she was awakened by the explosion she fouud herself alone in her room, ind rushed out into the cabin, where the utmost confusion prevailed. The ire was already sweeping aft, and driving hundreds iuto the river ; and her 51)ly oseape from a lingering death by tire was to jump into the river, nlieady i surging mass of drowuiug horses, mules, men, women and children. What 11 ap for a fragile woman ! but desp< rite as it was alio must make it. Thrice ihe had secured a partial support, iu the shape of a door or a bale of goods, but was ouch time rudely thrust aside by strong men, frantic with terror. At List she secured the little bit of board, ivliicli was her only support until taken ant of the water some three hours afterward. God only knows what that poor woman suffered in those hours of terrible ng;>nv. Bereft of husband, child, foi tuue,every thing gone, and nothing but i frail piece of hoard between her and h ath. The scene iu the hospital was heart reading. A large portion of those rescued u/V Korllu ono 1 /Iorl #-?? - ? T* *w DV?

Ont of twenty-five limdred souls on board there were but ibout three hundred Baved alive. 1 sailed upon tho lady two or three times luring tho Riieceediug week, each time liuding her a little stronger, but much lopreated in spirit from the dark prosp.-ots for her future. Ten daya after the calumity I was itaudiug near tho ?-teamboat lauding watching a tiuelid as it slowly rounded to and made fast to a wharf boat. As soon as the gangplank was thrown" out a nan sprung ashore with a little girl in liis arms. Ho approached the spot whero L stood, and, judging from my uniform that. I belonged to the navy, addressed m , inquiring if I knew whero tho survivors of tho Sultaua cal mity were. 1 told him that I did, upon which he ink ul me, with trembling lips, if there were any ladies saved 1 told him thoro were, aud, suspecting liis identity, isked him if his name was not Euuis. "My God! yos," said he, grasping my baud. "Thou, sir, your wife is ulivo and well." Tl )O rpflllnl1 /Mill luiffill* 1 mom'lin ln'o than I can describe it. " And tliip," said J, " is your little girl." Ho answered in the alllrmativo, and, as we proceeded toward tbo hospital, bold me bis singular story. On the night of the accident, be bad taken bis littlo girl from the stateroom into the cabin to procure for her some water. Not binding any in the after pArt of the cabin, he left her there and went forward. While forward the explosion occurred; the boat parted in the center, and thus separated him from his wife and child in the moment of their direst peril. Being a strong swimmer he kept himself afloat in the vicinity of the The wreck, and just as ho had secured for himself a door, some white object drop- A Eed into the water within four feet of Im im. He immediately grasped it with Gf a wild hope, that was gratified at once. Kai It was his own durling baby, who had Din been thrown overboard,to save her from pKi tho fire, by Edwin M. Safford, a member ttn of the Tenth Indiana cavalry. This his Safford was saved by our boat, and was to 1 my guest on tho Essex for three days gelf after tho accident; and from his descrip- ho i tion of tho littlo girl I had recognized cati thorn so readily at tho steamboat laud- ser ing. Mr. Euuis kept himself afloat by mu means of the door until ho reached a trai point somo ten miles below Memphis, par where he was rescued by an old colored des man, who lived on an island near by, tho who took them to his cabin and nursed of them through five days of delirious in- Cac sensibility. Upon regaining his mind, er Mr. Euuis hailed tho first boat bound up onl strenm, and was taken on board and goll brought to Memphis, whore he landed ap< with tho faint hope of finding out some- ( thing in regard to his wife. Ten min utes' walk brought us to tho Overton; I r< tlio meeting that followed I shall not ver attempt to portray. Tho entire family woro reunited.
