Warren E. Smith of Van Zant
street is the son of one of the few
eyewitnesses to tho now historic
burning of the steamboat Lexington
u in the sound about opposite the lo-
'cal shore back in January. 1840.
when nly four of the ill passengers
and 25 crew on board were saved.
His father. about 30 years old at the
time. necailed tho tragedy vividly
and in’ after years passed on to Mr.
Smith the story of the sinking. The
Lexington was at that time the mar-
vel of the age and on her passenger
list for the (null voyage were the
names of many of the leading Amer-
icans of the period.
, Mr. Smith still keeps old newspa-
per clippings of the disaster. one of
them being documentary proof that

his life. for he missed the lasing-
ton when he left her deck in New
York to get a drink and returned to
find the boat had left the slip.
The New York Tribune account
which tells of his escape says: “Dan-
lol Webster and Clarence Dorr. the
latter of Boston. has engaged pas-
sago on the boat for this trip and
had actually gone on board. but
some friends who came down to the
wharf to see them of! invited them
to the Altar House to get a pertinl
drink. with the result that thoy
missed the boat." Latcr it was said:
"They thanked their lucky stars
that they did."
The Lexington was one of the
once famous Stonington Line ves-
sels traveling the sound from New
York city to Providence. It was a
wonder of the age for speed. having
been built by Commodore Yonder.

it sank in the zone between
l-Znton's Neck and f‘runo's Neck on
tho Lend Island shore. Mr. Smith's
father. then a young man of 30,
saw the blaze of the sinking steam-
er. Flames shot 50 feet in the air
because of the fierce wind and the
party that aided the handful of sur-
vtvors worwcd under the disadvano
farm of a 10 degrees below zero
cold.
In? coincidence it was on January
3. 1897. the nfty-soventh anniver-
sary of the sinking. that the old
Stonlngton Line was dissolved after
nearly 70 years of sound navigation.
With tho sinking vessel went some
of the best known men of the time.
Mr. Smith lived throughout his
boyhood in a cottage on the Long
island shore two miles from where
the Lexington sank.
