PORT ROYAL, S., c., December 2s.-The
ship Harvey Mills, while lying at anchor in

this morning. All assistance was promptly
rendered from the fleet, steamship Hunts

tempting to get her up to the wharf she

located trying to locate the fire, which is
still burning under decks. The value of
the ship and cargo is about half million
