Scenes of Horror and Heralsn -Statement
of Some of the Survivor.
On Monday the steamer Seawaniha
ka was burned to the water's edge in
New York harbor. The fire, suppos
ed to have been caused by an explo
sion of gas in the furnace. burst out in
mid channel and the fltlles Wrapped
the vessel before sie could be beaclIed
on Sunken Meadows. The passengers
and crew consisted of about three
hundred, of whom more than thirty
were destroyed by fire or by watel.
The most barrowing accotsts were
givenl of the accident, of which lthe
following are specimens.
William Smith, one of tie Seawan

rushed madly about in terror, not
knowing wihat to do. llunireds of

to the promenade deck and the passen
