On the Way to Destruction. The order was executed, and the big ship proceeded, on. her way. Then ail at once the engine stopped and something like thunder was heard on deck. Herllhy rushed up the iron ladder of the engine-room to see w hat it was and found the passengers running out of th»dr cdhftis with looks of terror on their faces. He went on deck and saw that the “Rio'’ was doomed. He returned immediately to his post to wait for orders, but nothing could he done, in ten m.inuifia.it gas..all oyer, and the Rio de Janeiro Hr sight of land, taking ilbwn with her more than half of her passengers and crew Mr. Herlihy does not D fee, to talk of his terrible experience.
