Trenton, caused by the elect ric lights or board 1t
IS thought. however, that TO damage was done or
report would have been received before this. II is
supposed that the fire. II there one was caused
by salt water collecting between the two wires run
ming along The deck, thus causing short circuit.
The extreme heat generated thereby probably set
fire to the adjoining wood work. in such event
the lights would be Immediately eXtingUisied, and
the cause discovered and all danger averted before
