Fire broke out on board the steamer

day. The flames spread with SO much
rapidity that before aid reached the vessel
six of the passengers aud the stewardess
of the Iona were burned TO death. The
lire was put out after four hours struggle
The fire broke out when the Iona was of
ClaXton, in the forepart of the vessel. The
passengers were aroused. and it was sup
posed that all had escaped from the burn
ing cabin. While the crew were busy
fighting the flames soldiers on board as
sisted in lowering the boats and in supply
ing passen gers with life belts. There was
no wind, and the sea was perfectly
smooth. There was so much excitement
and confusion among the passengers that
the captain was unable TO restore order.
Suddenly it was discovered that some
women and children were missing. The
stcWardess re-entered the burning cabin
ii is presumed, TO try to rescue those who
were missing, and she also persisted.
