FIRE ON BOARD THE SOUTH AMERICA STEAMBOAT
On Saturday evening, little before ten o'clock,
a fire was discovered beneath the enginee rs room,
on board the South America steamboat, moored at
the foot OF Murrayst st. The alarm Of fire was imme-
diately given, and all hands board, together with
those on the wharf near exerted themselves moste
ergeticaly to extingush the iames-the hose Of the
boat was soon got into play, but was found OF too
limited power to be Of any avail in extnguishing
the flames, which were fast spreading. In the
meanwhile, the Stewardess, who was on board,
closed every door between the engine room and
the cabins, and boldly resisted the endeavors OF
every one 10 open them at the same time the Mate
was endeavorng amidst much danger, by means
of buckets, &c., to keep under the flames which
were spreading fore and aft Fortunately at this
time Engine No. IA came on the spot. and their
energetic endeavors got the fire under, and in
the space Of short time the fire was subdued, al
though breeze was springing up at the time The
fire was confined amidships by these means, and
consequently the cabins were preserved, and little
or no damage was done 10 any other part of the
vessel, much owing to Mr.. George Williams, and
others employed on the spot. These, together with
bountiful supply Of water from the hydrans OF
third ward owing the precaution of the Inspector,
was Of great value.
There is little damage done to the vessel beyond
the engine room, ana the posts adjacent the beams
have been much scared, but how far as TO require
them to be removed is a question for those ac-
quainted with such matters to be ascertained.
The fire is supposed TO have originated in some
cotton waste, which was beneath the engine room
but whether from self-combustion, or from spark
that might have fell from the lamp in the eng-
neer's room, Is not known. The whole damage
done, it is supposed, that one thousand dollars will
cover
