Over 100000.
At l o'clock Yesterday afternoon the
fire on the oil tanker Weehawken, which
lies at the mouth Of the Christiana
river off Wilmington was extinguished.
As all of the oil compartments except
one are intact, arrangements are being
made to lighter her cargo. after which
the boat will be floated and towed away
for repairs. lshe may be brought to this
city. OF the 1900, 900 gallons of oil on
the boat, only about $4,000 gallons were
destroyed, but the boat is probably
damaged to the extent of 100000. One
of the New York agents OF the company
is here making an examination.
After the fire was under control the
crew returned to the ship and saved
what they could of their personal effects.
All succeeded in doing this except the
chief engineer, the first and second
cooks and the man who ran the donkey
engine. They lost all their belongings
and all they have left is what clothing
they wore at the time the fire broke
out.
