The Mayor quickly gave out word for all to sign their names, Who were by any frendly tie connected with the same ; Thus to the Essex counting room by scores they did resort, To tell about their lost ones, and make a true report. Thus by this simple project the story soon was told, Of all the dead and living, tlie truth it did unfold, I saw the list of names myself, the Mayor set them down, A very lengthy list indeed 'twas printed in the town. First a list of all the dead, a hundred names or mor...e, Bruised and mangled in the fall, burnt and sadly tore, Next the wounded in their turn one hundred seventeen, Victims of pain and suffering, most awful to be seen. Many did escape unharmed, and without an ill. Others slightly bruised, were rescued from the mill ; More than one hundred fifty, were found upon the list, Besides a number missing all burned to a crisp. Many are the incidents, I might to you relate, I will not mention many, the number is so great ; One lady I will mention, with her daugliters four, Most eagerly they did escape, as they were near the door.
