FIRE IN SHIPS HOLD.
Threatening Blaze in the Coal
BunkerS of Pacific
Battleship,

San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 23.-Thc coal
bunkers in the United States battleship
Oregon caught fire Sunday evening from
spontaneous combustion and for over
eight hours the crew worked with ven
geance TO smother what looked like Il
costly blaze. There were over 30 tons OF
coal in the vessel and prompt action
alone saved the ship and fuel.
The fire is supposed to have started
from water leaking into the coal bunk
ers. This would eventually cause Il ter
rife heat from accommodating gases.
Luckily the fire was discovered before it
had gained much headway.
An alarm was Immediately given and
orders We're issued to remove the coal
from the vessel to the wharf. Steam
pipes were attached and connected with
the lower part of the vessel i'll an at
tempt to smother what fire might have
been in other parts of the ship
The men went to work with a Will but
the work was done with difficulty, As the
smoke hindered the men in their at
tempts 10 quickly put out the blaze.
During the whole night after the fire
had been discovered the entire crew Ia
bored in removing the smoking and blaz-
ing coal, and it was not until daybreak
that the men were allowed 10 leave their
work. The WarShip will be drydockcd
within a few days and ri@htcd. after
which she will be coaIed and her am
munition placed on board, when she viii

Germany with equal success in the mat

Notwithstanding the efforts of the Chi
