The Fire in the EEarbor Of MarseiIIes

New YORK. May PA London special
giving the particulars of the activity of the
American feet in SURPRISING the fire among
the shipping in the harbor Of Marsces,
France. says The achievement Of the
United States squadron WAS one Of the most
splendid victories Of peace, it having saved
from destruction by the discipline skill aud
intrepedity Of the officers and men thousand
merchant ships and the city ofMarseilIes On
the night Of the fire a squadron consisting Of
the Wabash. Congress, Brooklyn Plymouth,
Shenandoah, Juniata aud Wachusctts. under
Command Of Admiral Adm lay in Napoleon
Basin amidst innlmrrable merchant men OF
every description and from every nation.
Shortly after midnight an explosion startled the
city followed by fire and dense cloud of
heavy smoke which issued from an Italian
ship just arrived from Philadelphia with
cargo Of petroleum. The nature of the danger
soon became evident and it seemed impossible
te prevent the spreading of the fire from ship
to ship, rs they lay in such mass and gen
e!al coulagraton seemed imminent for houses
extend down to the wharf On every side No
city Of France has means to eXtngulsh a great
fire and hence the people gathered contemplate
ins the scene in panic striker facinating horror
Presently well manned bout came from a part
of the Basin Illuminated by the blaze and pull
ed directly toward the burning ship. This was
SOM followed by another, then third, ten,
twenty and all tic boats Of the American squad
ron \ moment later the men were seen
on the deck OF the burning ship. The silence
of the people on shore was such that they
could hear through the smothered roar and
cracklc of the fire the word Of command and
blowsofaxes. Presently the burning vessel began
to settle. She had been scuttled and her cargo
was now under water, her deck being level with
the surface. Danger from the escape OF burn
ing petroleum was still imminent when line
of boats dashed together stem and stern, was
seen pulling away and as the file Strengthened
out the burning ship moved and was slowly
towed out to the bay by over two hundred we'll
manned oars. 1t was only then that an i'm
meusc cheer broke from the thousands of peo-
IL, who felt indispensable gratitude to the
Americans for the salvation of their city.
