FIRE ON SHIPBOARD.

- -
Shortly after ten o'clock last night the William
Storer, Captain James Bryant, a fully rigged ship 01
1,700 tons burden, owned by Messrs. C. H. Marshall and
Co., of the Black Ball line, lying at pier 23 East
and plying between this port and Liverpool, was die'
covered to be on fire by the ship's boy, Edward
Bickers, aged about thirteen. The boy first discovered
the fire in the after art of the vessel and immediately
gave the alarm. The Metropolitan Fire Department,
and Insurance Patrol were speedily on the ground and
rapidly organised for battle with the flaming element,
which was now giving evidences of its power in the huge
volumes of dense, black smoke, mingled with lurid flame,
that were pouring from the hatches fore and aft ; but be-
fore long nearly a dozen lines of hose were pouring copious
streams of water into the hull and preventing the further
spread of the flames.
The steamtug Thomas Fuller 'arrived at the scene about
12 o'clock, and shortly had four streams in operation,.her
powerful force pumps pouring a savage tide of water int°
the hissinf, cauldron of the vessel's hull. The Storer had
been gradually settling down from the first, and now urns
almost level with the pier. The fire is not yet e%'
tinguished ; but the full extent of the damage can be
given. •
She was loaded with 160 to 200 hogsheads of tallow'
stored in the upper portion of the between decks, where
i
was also a lot of rosin and molasses, and a pretty full
cargo of grain in bulk and some cotton were stowed below.
The cargo will no doubt be almost a total loss and the
damage to the vessel great. It is believed that the only
insurance upon the vessel and the contents was an insn;
ante effected for the voyage only, so that it will not ava'
the owners in this instance. She was to have left for
Liverpool in a few days.
When the storer commenced settling her masts toppled
over towards the pier, and it was feared for some time
that they would fall over, become entangled in the riggwe
of the Isaac Webb, and thereby endanger that vessel
d
This is the same pier at which the Hibernia was burned
some three years ago.—New York Herald.
