SAVED BURNING
WARJTEAMER
General Sooy-Smith Tells Thrilling
of Thrilling Adventure Below Mem
phis In Bellum Days Rescued
Many From Drowning.
General William Sooy-Smlth, who
was General Sherman's chief of
scouts during tho civil war and for
many years distinguished In nrmy cir
cles, tells tho following Interesting
story of a Bteamer flro on tho Mis
sissippi In war times:
"During tlio summer of 180.'), I wns
going down the Mississippi river on
the steambont Hubert Cnmpbell. And
when we woro about 20 miles below
Memphis and in the middle of the
stream our boat was set on fire by
ii rebel incendiary, who was seen
by people on shore to jump from the
bont just before tho flames broke
out nnd swim ashore. Several steam
ers had been burned on the river dur
ing tho preceding fivo or six weeks
nnd an order had been published on
our side directing tho ranking officer
aboard in such cases to take com
mund and direct tho efforts to be
made to save life. I was nt that
time (i brigadier general in our ser
vice and tho ranking officer on
board.
"I immediately took command and
first ordered tho steamer's yawl to
be brought alongside the boat which
iiad rounded to' and wns making
Komo headway up tho stream, and
was standing on her guards directed
that tho women nnd the children, of
whom fortunately there were no more
than the yawl could carry, to be
helped into tho yawl nnd carried
ashore by two men nt the oars.
"This was successfully accom
plished. 1 then ordered the trunks,
boxes nnd bales on the lower deck to
bo thrown overboard and the pnssen
gers, as many as they would carry,
helped down upon them to be floated
ashore.
"There were many soldiers aboard,
my orders were promptly obeyed
and executed nnd perfect order en
forcedthere wns no panic until the
cord of the safety valvo burned off
nnd permitted the steam to rush out
with a hissing sound creating the im
pression that the boilers woro giv
ing way, which uo frightened the .re
maining imsengois Unit ninny
jumped ovfihonrd nnd those wom
most all drowned. Hut for this stam
pede 1 think we would have saved
nearly all tho passengers.
"Tltoso of ns who remained con
tinued throwing over nil the pack
ages we could handle, until there
were but low of us left nnd we
could move no more and had to take
to tho water and trust to our ability
to swim ashore.
A few succeeded, others failed and
wero drowned. I was not a good
swimmer but remembered that we had
thrown out a plank used for taking
u single pnsenger nhonrd and when
I ordered men to jump and tnko it
they bravely declined saying they
could swim out easily, and while
they wero refusing the plank got
away without an occupant. Look
ing down the river, I caught sight
ol this plank and struck out after
it. I finally reached it completely
exhnustcd. Laying my hand upon il.
I rested until I was able to crawl
onto it and paddled ashore. Abo.it
half a mile below the boat T walked
up tho west bank of the river to the
group of passengers who hnd es
caped. A few hours later a steamer
came and took us aboard.
"A meeting was organized nnd
resolutions very complimentary to
mo were passed. Pleasant ns they
were my greatest gratification was
and hns been that it was my privilege
to aid as I did in rescuing so ninny
from watery graves.
"I do not remember tho exnet
number of the passengers aboard
but I think it was from '200 to 2f0
and tho number lost between 50 and
00."
