Destruction of the steamship Austris by fire at sea
An eyewitness account details the catastrophic fire aboard the Austris as the ship neared New York. The voyage from Southampton met disaster after a blaze spread rapidly from the steerage to the magazine, passengers and crew rushed to lifeboats, many perished, and several survivors were rescued by the French bark Alaurice. The catastrophe is attributed to negligence by crew and a botched salvage effort, with Captain Rongud aiding the injured and organizing aid.
