4 SHIP SEVEN DAYS ON FIRE.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE OF THE STEAMER
HAWKHURST.

SHE TRAVELS OVER TWO THOUSAND MILES
WITH FLAMES RAGING IN HER HoLD-THE
CAPTAINS FINE sEAMANsHIP REWARDED.
Baltimore, Nd, May 81 CSpecisD.-" The Ameri-
can" tomorrow will publish letter from Cap
tain Thomas Robertson, Of tho Steamer Hawk
hurst, 70 MeSsrs. Gustavus d Co., Of this city,
which brings the story Of one Of the most remark
able exhibitions Of pluck, bravery and fine sea-
manship on record The feat OF sailing seven days
over distance Of $500 miles on a burning YES
sell and declining 10 stop at points where facili-
ties for putting out the fire without endangerng
the cargo and ship could be obtained, WAS re-
cnrded by the Emperor OF Brazil as so
noteworthy an achievement as 10 warrant his
conterring upon the master q medal Of the first
class. The Hawkhurst Is a British steamer and
belongs TO the packet line running between Ant
werp London and Brazil Captain Robertson
says: The Hawkhurst sailed from London on
March G. bound for Rio JsnerO with q general
cargo On March % we were In latitude IL de.
grces NORTH longitude 81 degrees west, 500 miles
south of the island of ST. Vincent when at
3 a. m dense volumes Of smoke were observed
coming ont OF the ventlators in No. 2 hold. We
az once blocked the ventators, made holes in the
decks, pouring steam in from the main boilers, and
water too. The fire seemed TO have a great hold
on the cargo in the lower hold, and II could not
be put out. During the next four days the decks
were red hot may mention that there was q
bctween-decS OF iron above the fire, and above
this iron deck were slowed 700 barrels Of oil, tow
tallow and other naammable materials.
Il thought at the beginning OF this accident-l
would put back TO St. Vinoent's, but, on further
consideration, did not reckon 10 prudent, as the
wind was strong ahead. Besides, II had gone
back there were no appliances for putting out
ire on the island I therefore steamed on 10 Rio
passing Pernambuco where they would not have
entertained a burning ship coming in the harbor
My only resource, had l gone TO ST. Vincents,
Pernambuco or Bahia, would have been 10 81 the
hold with water, and 20 do this would have had e.
ground the ship which might have caused n total
loss Three days after the fire began the star
board bunkers caught fire. This arose from the
great heat OF the decks and hull of the ship we we
nut this fire out in twenty-four hours Inc
following day our port bunkers took lire. but we
could not extinguish them, and they burned for
seven days.
ON our arriving at Rio the authorities sent us
their fire brigade. free OF charge, Ihls Drlgaue,
is as good rs any in the world. After two days
work they subdued the fire. The distance we
sailed while on FIRE was 23oO miles, and 1t took
seven days TO make the distance
