waters edge. and the cargo will probably
be total loss.
The fire was first discovered at 4 o'clock
ly In the hold. All hands were ordered on
deck to extinguish the flames, but they
had gained too much headway, and it
was as much as the men could do to pre-
vent the fire from spreading so rapidly
as to necessitate their taking to the boats
on the open sea.
The captain saw that his only hope lay
In reaching shore where he could possibly
have chance of saving the ship and part
OF the cargo. With this end In view, he
headed the Francis towards the beach,
while the crew kept pouring water into
the hold. 1t was well after dark, and the
position of the men on board was perilous
In the extreme. With her bow pointed
well on the shore, the ship struck hard and
fast Meanwhile the fire was raging even
more furiously than before, and all hands
were forced to leave with nothing but the
clothes on their backs. They were assist

and nourishment

What renders the accident still more un-
fortunate Is the fact that Capt Smiths

house itself. The quartermaster stuck to
the wheel until the flames almost envelop-

capt. Wilder ordered signal lights of
distress burned. Along the rails on the
port side men were stationed to burn the
signal lights. The flames forward had
broken through the deck and shot into
the air, making a greater light than the
colored signals, but they did not tell the
same story of distress.
I'm very few minutes there flashed up
in the darkness far to the north an an

see the vessels side lights, and then the
day began to break, and when the sun
was just rising this welcome savior hove

Just as soon as the signals of distress
had been answered all The crew were sent
back to their posts to fight the fire that
was gaining steadily all the time and
working its way further and further aft.
The deck forward of the pilot house was
burned away, leaving the iron cross beams
bare red-hot. The heavy anchors dropped
down below, their fastenings twisted and
broken. The iron plates of the ships side
glowed red hot.
THE passengers were all transferred to
the City of Augusta in safety, and the
work of fighting the fire was continued.
About 9 o'clock in the morning the flames
were under control and the steamer out of
danger.
THE passengers were sent back to the
