Benediction.
South Portland had lively fire at the
marine railway in the early hourssof Satur-
day morning, which called out Hose and
Ladder company No. l, and Engine No.
from Portland, and resulted in damag-
ing Tug @. A. Warren to the extent Of
about $4,000.
About 2. S0o'olock a. m, Mr.. Charlson,
who was sitting up with sick ma n
saw blaze at the railway, and Fastening
to the house of Nathan Dyer, manager of
the railway. aroused him. Mr.. Dyer
swoke his son Albert, who turned out
somesmembers of the hose company.
-Four men took the cart to the scene of
the fire, and attaching the hose to the
hydrans at the head OF the wharf. turned
stream on the tug boat. which was then
all ablaze Engine No. 2 from the city,
arrived in good time and threw on a big
stream, and in about an hour the fire was
subaued.
Mr.. Drisco. the mate. was sleeping on
the boat at the time and was in blissful
ingorance of his hot surroundings until
he was aroused by the cries of the fire.
men, but he managed to escape all right
1t is thought the fire originated in the
bunkers, for Friday afternoon some work
was done on the boilers, and the Goals
were hauled out, but the men most likely
did not get water enough on to put out
the layer of ooals at the bottom. Once
started the blaze crept up along the
smokestaek and fairly quilted the boat.
The upper house is a wreck, the plaster
on the boilers Is all gone, the copper
steam pipes burned, tengine room, pilot
house and cook room destroyed. In
short. nothing escaped but a part of the
hose had just been put on board, and 1t
was lost.
The boat, which was owned by the Cen.
trail Wharf Company, was insured for
$1,000 In the office of Dow 81 Pinkham.
