HAZARDOUS WORK AT SEA.
Sailors Lowered Into the Water to
Fight a Fire on N Mule Transport.

NEW ORLEANS. La, June 27.-The Brit
ish mule transport Monterey, from Cape
Town, has arrived in port after a terrible
experience with fire at sea. Twelve days out
from St. Vincent flames were discovered in
the afterhold and gained such Roadway
that the heat prevented the usual means of
extinguishing fire on shipboard. Flames and
clouds of smoke poured out from the hold.
and when the officers and crew were about
TO abandon hope, First officer Reid and
Fourth Officer Harrison volunteered dar-
ing plan. They proposed to tie wire cables
around their bodies and have their COM
panions lower them down the side Of the
ship until they were abreast the port open
ings into the burning section. 1t was a des-
perate expedient. but after a short consul
tation. was adopted. AS the fire was near
the water line Reid and Harrison were low
cred down until they were submerged in
the sea nearly up TO their waists. Hanging
thus half buried in the waves. with the
ship under Roadway, the men battered in
the port. A hose was then lowered TO them.
and for several hours they hung. swinging
outward and inward, pouring a stream into
the blazing hold In this way they finally
checked the flames. The vessel Is badly
damaged.
