The Steamer Silver Spray, 'of Goder- ich, was run into on Friday night by the propeller Comet, bound froth Buffalo for Green Bay. The accident happened at ten o'clock p. m. The Spray. left Godorich at three o'clock, and was near the Canada shore. Jug before enter- ing the St. Clair, the Comet had got out of the river, and; when firstseen was running as it were for the Canada Shore and right in the course of the Spray. Capt. Rowan, of they Spray, whistled and then, after a minute or two, seeing that the Comet did ° not change her coarse he _ whistled again, but the Comet held might on and struck the Spray on the larboard side right in front of the paddle -box. The Comet's speed had been greatly slackened, but if she had not struck the Spray's boilers she would have run right through her and sunk her in an instant. Captain Row- an and officers and men of 1 he' Spray and young Mr. Detlor of Goderich, one of the owners, did their duty `well. The boats were got ont and ladies and other passengers got safely off on board the - Comet _ There were about ; 20 passen- gers and eighteen of a crekv, and all were got off safely. The Spray, which was gradually settling in the water, sunk in fi t )en minutes, a porton of her upper deck remained out of the water.. A number of the passengers lost their clothing; and there was scarcely any- thing saved except the boats, books and papers. The Comet, which was injured on the bows by the collision, took the passengers and crew to Port .Bron. No blame is attached to Capt. Rowan or any of the officers of the Spray. The Comet did not answer the Spray's whistle, and sho was entirely off. her ° course when she struck the Spray. There was only a small quantity of freight on the Spray • She . was owned by J. V. Detlor & Co., Goderich, and insured, amonnt unknown. Board of Pupiic Instruction.
