The 6T, Nicholas Disaster and Steamer Losses
The June blast of the steamer St Nicholas near Helena killed Captain McMullen and many aboard. The Pennsylvania disaster was surpassed by the Nicholas calamity with around sixty dead. Wounded were saved by the Susquehanna, and dozens hospitalized or missing. Gillem, Grime, Pillow, and Ella Kennedy are among the injured. Captains McMullan and Grime burned, with rescue efforts ongoing. A remarkable pilot-house coincidence preceded the blast. Also notes the Calvary predestination remark, and subsequent transfers of survivors to other vessels. The California Overland Mail and Moonlight arrivals are reported, along with prize rumors and Pacific market shifts.
