erertions. the fire was extinguished. The amour
&c cotton on board amounted to about $50 bale
which was all damaged. The fire is supposed I
have been caused by spontaneous combustion, il
duced by the damp state Of the cotton from the raj
of the day before. Had it not been for the speed
arrival of the engines, it is highly probable that NJ

ing vessels
