ON FIRE AT SEA.
A Smoking Ship Seen in
the Pacific.
The Vessels Name Could Not Be
Made Out, but a Good Descrip-
ton Was Obtained.

The British ship Goodrich. Captain Will
liams, arrived yesterday, 10 days from
Liverpool. She experienced the usual
weather around the Horn but had q very
lively time OF it while off Cape Blanco.
Early one morning the amdship matches
were discovered to be very hot. and an in
vestigation showed the temperature Of the
hold TO be over 115 degrees Fahrenheit
1t was plain that the cargo of coal was
getting heated. An iron rod was run down
several feet and when 1T WAS pulled up was
so hot it could not be touched.
In a short time the coal began to smoke,
and a consultation was held between the
captain and officers. 1t was plain that il
they let things alone they would soon have
to abandon the ship. 80 they concluded TO
make an effort to save her by getting rid Of
part of the cargo.
To get at the hottest part 1t was neces-
sary 10 cut down about seven feet, and this
work was very hard on the men as the heat
was very exhauSting and the smoke snf
locating. But they kept az it and soon had
seventy tons of the coal over the side.
After this there was no trouble, but the
captain was confident that ii it had been
unnOticed another torty-eight hours the
vessel would have been on fire.
On Dece mber q, short distance this side
Of the equator the Goodrich sighted a vessel
lnat nad met Inc late she hdQ just escaped.
1t was late in the afternoon when a large
iron ship was sighted. and as they drew
nearer she proved to be on fire. There was
no sign Of any body on board and most of
the sails were burned away. The boats
were gone, which seems conclusive evil
dence that the crew escaped
The Goodrich got within a mile of the
burned ship. but could not make out her
name. A small boat was sent out, but the
weather turned squally ana it had to be
called back. AS night was then coming on
the captain did not think it safe TO remain
near the ship. so he kept on his course
without finding out her name.
According 10 his description she was an
iron ship of about 3OC0 tons register,
painted black with white bowsprit Her
deck houses were all amidship and she had an
iron wheelhousP. She was smoking great
deal, but it was evident from the burnt
canvas that the fire had been worse and was
diving out Her hull was also high out OF
water ana she appeared to have an East
Indian rajah for GGure-head.
Just what vessel she was is a matter OF
speculation, but nobody acquainted with
the vessels that come to this port has been
found that remembers seeing her. There
are several odd points about her one would

A Crazy Sailor Escapes From the

fnebriateS' Home.
William Connell arrived In this city two
weeks ago on the ship Highlander. He is
a sailor who has spent many years upon
the briny, and when he reached this part Of
the world had spent everything in the
shape OF money he possessed. He obtained
food and lodging in the City Prison several
nights, and on last Monday night, by his
conduct convinced the officers that he had
lost his reason. They sent him to the
Home of the Inebriates. where he was i'm
pris0ned until late yesterday afternoon.
Then he became possessed of the notion that
the keepers OF the home had conspired to cut
his throat, and when the coast was clear" he
plunged headlong through the window of
his cell in the second story of the building
and set off at rapid gait for Chinatown.
His hand was lacerated by the glass
through which he had made his way, and
the trail Of blood which he left behind gave
a clew to the officers, who pursued him.
He proved to be feeter of foot than any OF
his pursuers, and disappeared after leading
them merry chase through the alleys of
