to the first mate.
At midnight, when all the troops were
asleep, Captain Dillon assembled the crew
and told them the news. Everything was
pledged to secrecy. To let the soldiers
know that they were over a raging fire
would be to precipitate panic. Silently
the men coupled on the hose and steam
pipes. Then they began battling with the
flames In the hold. Next morning the fire
was as fierce as ever. Night and day the
heroic crew fought the fire, but with little
success And still the troops aboard did
not know that fire was burning benea tn
