THE MARINE RECORD. Troy t.oiir Buffalo, K5, nnd a Bite number by the explosion of tlio Amorlon on -Luke Erie. At midday on Saturday,"a sight oontowlint marvoloqs presented Itself nt Hutching'! whnrf, noar tho loot of Shelby street, and hundreds of citizens -rushed to the scone fo sco what was going on. It will bo remem¬ bered that a short time since tlio propeller St. Paul toolt hor dopnrtnro for Lake Supo- .rlor with n cargo of llmo'ln barrels and car- • Uoye ot acids. On reaching Detour she' stranded, was soon oil lire and scuttled. Af¬ ter toriipornry ropalrs It was deemed advlsa- bloto aba'ndon tho voyage and return to Do-, trolt. She arrived here and the process of removing her enrgo vim commenced. 'This was found n tedious and difficult task,'the llmo having becotno a hiiisb of mortar.' To deposit it In thorlvct was'forbldden by tlio harbor master, and to land It upon the dock wnB found to bo a slow proceeding. Such was the flltiuitlon on SnlurdnV, when gas and smoke of a fiery appearance'wan seen escaping from iill parts ,of' the bout nnd many supposed she was .really oh .lire. The nclil contlnue'd to viiporize nnd It seemed impossible to quench It. In the cnursoofn lew hours ordor seemed apparent I y restored. Later, at 5 o'clock, smoke Issued from the steamer making it certain that she was on lire. The fire department was summoned and it wiib feared that she was doomed to destruction. At first, as was the case In the carlfcr part of tile day, water seemed to pro¬ duce Utile or noellect, but.after awhile It accomplished Its purpose. At 0:15 In the evening the flro again broke out, tho fire tie- pnrtment were again, summoned and soon had it extinguished. The interior of the hull and cabltiB nre seriously damaged and the loss will not fall short of 120,000. She now lies sunk alongside of the wharf and proves a serious drawback to other steamers which Inake this their landing place. The St. Paul is owned by Wickham & Co.,of Huron, O. The fire, beyond a doubt, was the result of spontaneous combustion. During the lire David Jr|nglayson, the mate, was ovorcome by the fumes from the auld vapor and was removed to till) marine hospital for medical,attendance.
