stock room Of the printing shop, and at

fire gained great headway.
As soon as the flames spread to the

The Plymouth so far as known here was
valued at nearly a million dollars and
was practically total loss,

slant service In the crowded water ways

The paint shop and it's contents were
valued at $1,000, the old railroad station
$1,000. while II is believed that 5000 will be
sufficient TO =repaint the Priscilla. Purl-

Mr.. J. ii. Gardner OF the construction
department of the line, stated that he
expected that the Plymouth would be re-
built as she was not a total loss. He had
been able TO form any theory as to the
origin of the fire.

ONE BODY FOUND.
Late in the forenoon the body of a Por-
tuguese was found on board the Plymouth
lying near the capstan on the main deck.
The man was Louis lie Mont and ha was
about Is years OF age. II Is believed that
he lived in New York. He was a fireman.
One OF the other iremen stated today that
he saw lie Mont trying 10 make his es-
