CREW WERE HEROES.
Did All They Could to Save
Patria's Passengers.

Southampton, Nov. 16-The rescued
passengers of the Patria will spend the
night at Southampton. They were
housed at the Hamburg American
Company's expense, while waiting the
arrival of the Kaiser Frederick. Four
of the passengers were left at Dover,
and one of these. a man named Du-
place, will probably be dead before to-
morrow, owing to his terrible expert
ence in the English channel.

the fire is still a mystery, but 1t is
asserted that the fact that the steamer
was afire was withheld from the pas
sengers for some time, Capt. Frolich
apparently wishing to take his ship to
Hamburg without causing alarm, if
possible.
A Swedish passenger named Earnest
Monk, in an interview, said:
1.-The crew acted like heroes from the
beginning to the end The fire orig
mated in the rooms amidships, of
spontaneous combustion, and may have
been smouldering for days. But the
crew kept the matter quiet until a
passenger, a German, named Hans
Schan, was told by one of the crew
yesterday morning and the news soon
spread, though it was kept from the
women. The smoke, however, began
to show at 113O and it was no longer
possible to conceal the fact The cap
tain told us we should have to leave
the ship. The women and children
were alarmed and cried, but there was
little confusion, although most of us
only saved the clothes we were wear
ing. Many of the women refused to
leave their husbands, and had to be
forced into the boats, the men COM
