Heartrending Occurrence on the
River Thames,
The steamer r Irturla t'ap.tse.. and about
..tee sem, Women aad ('Whirrs meek their
Doom.
Perhaps the most fearful calamity
that ever befel a conununityr .in Canada,
happened at London, on Tuesday last,
in the capsizing ..f the pleasure steamer
Victoria, (caused by overloading; and .
the loss of about '330 lives of the human
freight. From the Adoertiser we glean
the following particulars:-- •
It was about ti o'clock in the aftentuus
when the ill-fated Victoria reached
Springbank un her last trip. Both the
upper and lower decks were cr,,wded,
and a large number of the pleasure seek-
ers remained on board to return en the case same boat. As is usually the at
that hour, an immense crowd was wait-
ing at the wharf for the arrival of the
steamer. Every one was anxious to se-
cure a place, and in a few moments every
portion of standing or sitting rumen was
fuliy occupied. The number on board
variously estinutted at from 600 to 800
probably nearer the latter --a number al-
together out of pro onion to the capa-
city of the boat. Threu huudred would
have been a good load, and, at the out-
side, mere than four Hundred should
not have been allowed on. • The boat
was to., frail for any such ridiculously
large burden:
But nu speaal effort was made
to prevent any one, ,.r as many as liked,
front getting aboard. The Victoria
started' fur the Cit;. All the light-
heartedness and jollity -incident to holi-
day excursions was apparent, and who
dreamed of the fearful occurrence so
. soon to transpire? . Among th� •se on
the boat was a reporter from the Adrvr-
timer Office, the only- reporter, i ;nay• be
mentioned, who was present :Poco the
commencement of the disaster. Slowly
the doomed' boat crept along the chan-
nel of the Thames towards the city,
while the happy throng moved constant-
ly- about fruw one place to another,
laughing and taking as they mingled
together, young amen and young women,
.parentsatd children, friends aud ac-
quaintance".• -
For • few moments our reporter re-
mained with the throng, on the upper
`•deck, but because of, the heat and crush
he went below where circumstances were
but little better. Every few moments
little waves ebbed in on the fluor of the
deck near the centre, but nothing more
than a laugh • was excited when the
water touched "pine person's feet.
The passing row boats and steamers at-
tracted, constant attention; the crowd
swayed first north and then south ; at
each moment the water came in deeper
on either side of the lower deck. aiid tin -
ally', at times. reached the depth of six
and eight inches. Several times theufli-
cers in charge urged the people to remain
quiet. It proved of 11u avail, and'when
one side dipped to an alarming extent,
orders were given to moire across. The
anchor and other heavy articles were
piled in the middle of the decks. Still
the oscillating motion continued. No
(Inc seemed to foresee danger. Our re-
1erter took his stand on a stied near the
centre of the lower deck, south side, and
though severak times asked to move to
another place, did not do so, feeling
rather tired with the walk about Spring -
bank. A dozen or mole others were
sitting on the railing near by when sud-
denly the water rushed to the depth of
more than a foot. At this juncture a
point had been reached 'in the ricer at
the bend about a quarter of a mile west
of the Cove Bridge where the stream is
wide, and deep. The route of the *teeni-
er lay a little more than • quarter the
distance over the river. Jost as the
heavyjnfluz of watert1alluded to aboie
took pace, the excursionists with • few
exceptions, one being our reporter,
surged to the north and the boat slowly
heaved over. For a 'couple of seconds
there was a deathly stillness, only to be
followed by a suppressed wail of terr
as the dreadful truth flashed upon their
minds. The deck floor became elevated
to an angle not far from the perpendicu-
lar when all at once the supports of the
upper deck gave way with a terrible
crash on account of the unnatural pos-
ition and the great weight imposed.
Over the rulings the people tumbled in
hundreds heldlun; into the deem wafer,
and to make terror more terrible the
whole of the Lipper deck mud eupprorta
went crashing down upon the wrete'ud
Aims. tearing and hruiainig the strug-
gling mans of humanity, which thus be-
came fastened in a dreadful wa'ery
t.•mb.
Our reporter. fearing an explosion of
the boiler and being well able t.. swim,
'sprang into the riter, setting out fur the
n rthern shore, part aftei going nearly
are -third of the distance returned, a11,
danger's of explosion measling to be sub-
sided. Watk the aid of a Wipe

Victoria. The mem bales all descrip-
tion. Here and there the water was
dotted with people battling with the
element that alowly lint surely became
their grave. Nome straggled terribly for
a moment ..r so, then sank, while their
hats or other light goods fleeted a
with the bubbles that told of the til
gasp. Between the hulk awl the sheet
a most appalling scene met the �graze td

and broken timbers, the death agonies

road measure. Nett ,ante the work of

AT TME sous.
As soots as the news of the dread dis-
aster torched the city • ourpa of Adeer-
t_,e, reporters made for the art. The
serer was one that will uever fade fruw
memory. Busy hands were at work,and
already wale tory or nifty bodies had
been laid on the bank. There was the
irtbs III arms std the gray-haired man;
the miss in her teens and matron, the
? a(na auan and the maiden. The faces
bone all variety of expressions, but few
were unpleasant to look at in themselves,
however, Lomble the whole spectacle.
la a few eases a thin stream of blood
was streaked across; the face, and eyes
bore the glared stare of death. The
clothiug was bedraggled and the toilets
disarranged, and in sfew case. there
were cuts on the back part of the head.
As body after body was taken out there
was a rush of the crowd who had gather-
ed about. Where the body was identi-
fied a wail, a sigh. or a sympathetic
comment bespoke the feelings of the re-
lative or friend. Where identification
was not possible the body was laid aside,
and the crowd respectfully fell back in
the sorrowTo describe the
presence o .
scene as it actually was is nut possible
in the time alluted to a hastily -written
sketch, and indeed, with the sounds of
woe still in one's ears, the agonizing
cries eft bereaved relatives fresh in the
air, and the sight of dead friends whom
one left an hour before in the enjoyy-
utent of health and bent only un frolick-
ing, constantly before one, it is no easy
task to depict the Misery of the evening
by the riverside. Ner was it there alone
that the cry of anguish was heard. At
every street corner and at every doorway
innumerable little groups gathered
about, and the s ebbing and��ailingtouch-
ed the hardest hearts. N1, ane could
walk the streets unmoved. and the sym-
pathetic tear trembled on the lid of
many a one whose own household was
untouched by the dire disaster.
• es SEEN FROM THE WATER
:A representative of the Advertiser was
standing at the WoodlandCemete dock
when the accident occurred. - He had
hailed the beat fur passage, but he could
not get within a few feet of the spot
where he stood, and he did not ewe to
run tiny risk., of jumping. He says that
at the cemetery landing the Louisa met
the Victoria, and people on the latter
steamer rushed to the aide next to the
'Louisa to see her passengers. This
caused the water to overflow .the lower
deck of the Victoria, and some of the
passengers un the boat were submerged
to such an extent that they rushed to
the opposite side of the boat. This
manuver had the effect of partly over-
turning the boat to the left side, se far
that the u per deck gave way and pre-
cipitated t le passengers into the water.
This allowed those on the lower deck an
opportunity to take the water and make
the best of their chances to escape.
DEATH OF FLJENDi OF "AD': ERTIYEtt'•
• ATTACHER
The fell hand ..f death did not pass
the Advertise, office by. Among the
passengers were Mr. Chas. A. Matthews,
ntght editor, wife and' two children;
Mies Bailey. a sister of one of our press-
men; Mr. Wm. Wannacott, brother of
Chas. Wannacutt, rounds collector, a
sister of Mr. Frank Lawson,' reporter,
and a young brother 64 Eddie Harrison,
apprentice. Mrs. Matthews and one
child, Miss Bailey, Miss Lawson, Char-
dey Gorman, one of Dur carriers, Mr.
AI, annacott and the lad Harrison were
among the victims. Mr. Matthews suc-
ceeded in saving one child. It is need -
loss for us to say that the surviving re-
latives have our special sympathy in
their tad affliction.
