the crew were Immediately cut off from
communication with the ships boats
and barely had time to snatch the
hatch covers and some OF the tenders
from the flames and hastily lmprovlse

These, however, were so heavily freighted
as to sink their occupants waist deep in the
water, in which condition they remained
drifting about in a heavy sea swell from
few minutes after the fire broke out until
rescued, in the last stages OF exhaustion,
about s o'clock In the evening The smoke
of the burning vessel was first sighted by
the watChman at the life-saving station at
this port soon after the fire broke out, but
supposing it Ia emanate from some north
bound steamer, he attached no significance
to it until observing it about 5 O'Clock

Boyne of the steamer Glenn, which
was lying at her docks here,
being notified, started imme-
diateIy to investigate its origin, taking in
