The fire broke out in the vicinity Of the chimney
which was about the junction Of the forward and
middle thirds. When the shore was reached most
Of those the lower deck were cut of from escape
at the bows by the fire filing the whole Of the mid

the protection Of lives ia OF accident but there
were no boats there. When bass assed the ladies

boats might have been, and where they are slowed

Of floating scttces and stools, which we're thrown
over IN some numbers to those who were in the
