five hundred miles from the Irish coast with smoke
coming from of the hatches under which
stored quantity of explosives, there no hesta

hatch from which the smoke curling could be

The chief engineer hurried to the deck, where he
met lanes Coleman, the chief officer endeavoring
mouth of a roaring furnace. He also grabbed the
hose, and the two hurried to the hatchway. After
pouring a steady stream into the hatch for minute

than the first threw the Rialto on her beam ends.
Clouds of smoke of peculiar density and charged with
powerful fumes hid the opening for a minute or two.
When they cleared, Coleman was found some
distance away lying unconscious on the deck, with
broken and other severe injuries. The
