A SHIP ON FIRE.
WEYMOUTH, THURSDAY, SEVEN P.M.—A ship is now
on fire in the west bay, about ten miles west of Port-
land. It was first seen from shore about five this after-
noon, and has since been burning with awful fury. From
the extent of the flames and their duration,
he must
be a vessel of considerable size. From what I could
learn I think she must be a steamer, as in the afternoon
one was seen going round Portland, and bound to the
westward. When first seen she was about fifteen miles
off the beach ; but she has been fast drifting towards it,
and is now probably within four or five miles. The wind
is blowing very strong from the west-south-west, so that
if any part of her survives the flames an hour or two
longer, it will be driven on shore. The greatest anxiety
is felt respecting her fate, or rather that of those on
board her, as, if a steamer, the number is no doubt
considerable. There is a very heavy sea running in
the bay, so as to make it doubtful if open boats could
survive it.

Several vessels have gone to her assistance, but as the
wind is strong, it would take several hours for them to
since
