AMERICAN LINER ON FIRE.

Cargo One Mass Of Flames, but Pas
sengers Landed without Loss Of
1ife-Heroio Work of Captain and
Crew.
LONDON, Nov. l5.-The Hamburg
American steamer Patria, Captain
FrohItch, which left New York Noveru-
ber 4. for Hamburg and passed the
Lizard yesterday. is on fire near Dover
All the passengers were rescued and
have arrived at Dover. The Russian
steamer Ceres sighted the Patrla, show
ing signals of distress and demanding
immediate help, about twelve miles
from North Pinder Llghtship. The
liner was enveloped In smoke. Putting
on full steam, the Ceres soon reached
the Patrla and. sending boat learned
that Captain F'rohllch was in urgent
need OF assistance.
The boats were got out and with great
difficulty all the Patria's passengers,
numbering $50, were transferred to the
Ceres, which proceeded for Dover,where
she arrived Just before midnight.
Francis w. Prescott, the United
States consul in Dover, was Immediate
ly notified. and he consulted. with the
harbor authorities, who arrived to send
on the harbor tug Lady Vita, which
brought the rescued ashore Among
the saved sre many ladies' and children,
as well as six babes in arms. The
hurry of the rescue was indicated by
the fact that most Of them were envel-
oped IN blankets only They were rap
idly distributed among the hotels or
sent to the sailors home and everything
possible is being done for their comfort.
According to interviews with some Of
the passengers, which elected the fact
that most OF them are American cltl-
zens who have come for a vacation in
Europe, all were ordered on deck at 6
o'clock Wednesday morning. when they
we're informed that disastrous fire
had broken out among the general
cargo and us the cxew were unable to
master 1t, the captain said he consider
ed 1t advisable for the passengers to
take to the boats.
At this time, 1t was evident that the
fire had obtained a thorough hold upon
the cargo. Smoke and flames were as
cendins with overpowerins force and
causing the greatest alarm. The crew,
according to several passengers, work
ed like heroes In their endeavors to
keep the flames in hand, but the great
quantity Of llnseed among the cargo
and the oil supplied by this, made all
their efforts hopelegs.
There was very great excitement
among the women and children but
the example set by the GOODNESS of Cap
tain Frohllch and the crew had calm
ing effect on the passengers generally
The boats were promptly got over the
s,de, the crew working as II they we're
at drill. The safety of the ladies and
the captain we're first assured. AS the
arc had by this Time consumed the
greater part of the passengers belong
ings. they had to get into the boats us
they had come up from their hunks and
some were in very light raLment.
