A burning ship on the Sound Is a sufficiently rare
sight to create lively commotion among the Sound
boats and along the Long Island shores But when
the vessel has CO. 900 gallons of oil In her hold the IRE

evening. when Captain W. L. McIaia decided to get
under way again. Soon after the crew had lifted
anchor an oil lamp In the cabin exploded 1t did not

soon became evident that the vessel was doomed.
With 60 900 gallons OF oil in her, Captain McLain

some distance as soon possible between them
selves and the burning boat They put Off from the
vessel and landed Norfolk Island Lighthouse.
whence they were taken to South Norwalk. The
Rounel burned throughout the night, and crowds
gathered on both shores to see the unusual sight.
