81, Per.ons Burned to Death-Intense Ex-
element on Board.

LONDON. Sept. 15.-The London and
Edinburgh Steamship Compnnys steamer
Iona. pivtng between Leith and London,
caught fire on her trip 10 Gravesend this
morning. The FIRE started I'm her cabin.
and Ave women and one child passen-
oer. and stewardesses, were burned 20
deafh and a number OF others were bad
~ burned and otherwise injured. The fire
was extlneuished by the use of the snip
fire apparatus.
The following particulars of the cis-
aster are furnished by the managers OF
the London and Edinburgh Steamship
COMPANY. who. In an interview to-day,
made this statement.
"The steamer Iona left Leith Saturday
morning at O'Clock with hundred sa-
loon passengers and fifty second-class
passengers. -
THE part Of the boat In which the
sec0nd-class passengers slept was useu
as a saloon during the day, ana at night
n was divided by a partition into sleep
in,. corrartments for women and men.
At 2 O'Clock this (Monday) morning fire
vcas discovered I'm the ladies' compartment
ON the mort side The flames spread so
ranidtv and the clouds OF smoke were
so Sitting tnat the crew were prevented
from rescuine all Of the passengers, being
several times driven away from the burh-
ing part Of the ship. Tho fire was gotten
under control about o'clock when the
charred bodies Of seven persons were
found in their berths so badly burned as
10 be unacceptable.
"The cabin on the starboard of the ship
was only slightly injured, the spread or
flames to that side being checked by the
protecting steel deck. During the prog
ress of the flames the widest excitement
prevailed among the passengers. The
saloon passengers women, men and chill
dren. rushed on deck. some Of them al
most naked. the women screaming and
the children crying and IL was not until
the flames were subdued that they could
be pacihod.
The Iona put in dock at Wampa. The
ladies' cabin was demolished. Some of
the killed appeared to have fallen from
their berths i'm their efforts TO ESCAPE and
their bodies were found lying almost IN
ashes on the floor.
The fire originated in the lamp room,
uhfch al dio.ned the cabin.
