Synopsis
Excerpt from New York's Awful Steamboat Horror: Hundreds of Women and Children Drowned and Burned to Death
There was a noise like an explosion down in the steamer's hull, and red starry loads of sparks and smoke and flames flew up, and the greater part of the super structure plunged forward into the flames. How many hundreds of lives were snuffed out at that instant nobody will ever know.
