The steamer Northern Belle was F burnt near Byng Inlet on Sunday. M: 6th met, and the passengers and crew railw had an experience that they are not from . cond likely to forget. Among the former was Mr. Joseph Chew of Orillia. and he told the Packet a thrilling tale of the ,wreck on reaching home. The Belle ‘left French river on Sunday morning, having been delayed there two days by stress of weather. As the gale seemed to have abated somewhat a start was made. the intention being to turn back if it was found that the lake was still too rcugh for safety. But when the boat had got nearly out into the lake it was struck by a heavy squall, accompanied by a blinding snow storm. To put about was impossible, the only thing that could be done was to run bt- fore the gale. Fears were entertain- ed that the old boat would be blown to pieces, and everyone on board secured a life-preserver and put it on. But she weathered the squall. She had scarcely got headed up for Bying Inlet _ before smoke was seen issuing from below near the stern. Investigation showed that there was a fire in the hold. The hose was laid and two streams were soon plying the fire. The flames, however, continued to the gain headway, and it was soon evident 00! that the vessel was doomed. Dene columns of black smoke were issuing from below, which prevented the crew I from getting near enough to the fire are to make their work tell. When it was as! plain that further efforts to extinguish R0 the flames were hopeless, the hold was closed up as tightly as possible, and p'epartions made for beaching and abandoning the ship. An attempt was made to save some of the effects on board, but none of the cabins, except the captain’s, could be entered because of the smoke. The four lite; boats were made ready for lowering, and passengers and crew then took refuge on the hurricane deck. By the time the river was reached, the flames were beginning to burst out, and the wheelsman had been driven from his post by the smoke. So the engines ,d were stopped, and the lifeboats lower- ' ed. Into the first that reached the se water, fifteen or sixteen pertons S scrambled, so uncomfortable was it 5 becoming on the vessel. The other It three were then got off, and in them I! everything within reach, and they cast b off. the captain being the last man to .\ leave the ship. The Northern Belle t8, drifted up stream, before the wind, t: M wrapt in flames, the boats following at v a respectful distance. Before leaving 1 the whistle had been blown vigorously, . and this attracted the attention of the F“ the matter. She turned a stream on lful the Northern Belle and got the flames . sufficiently under control to admit of 52 the vessel being boarded, the safe open ed, and the books and money taken “I" out. The tug then pushed the burning steamer up on shore, an left her to her _-' fate. The passengers were taken to Parry Sound by the O’Brien, and Mr. Chew came to Midland by the City of 35c Toronto. The passengers, of whom ic at there were four, lost all their luggage, except that one man threw his trunk into the water and another man his :33; valiscs, and they were washed ashore and picked up. The Northern Belle was an old steamer, and is well known to all who have travelled much on the Georgian Bay during the present 1 00 generation. She had just brought a ' up for the camps and was tenor returning light for another.
