HERO|SM OF THE
/. STEAMER CREW
Passenger Vessel Burns Near
Halifax but No Lives Were
Lost in the Flames.

Halifax. n. s. Dec. 2S.-Word was re-
ceived here today from Port Dufferin, a
small coast town some sixty miles east of
this city. of the destruction by fire of the
passenger steamer Strathcona, owned by
the Halifax and Canso Steamship COM
pany, and bound from this port for CansO
and Guysborough. That no lives were
lost is due principally to the heroism
of the engineers and firemen, who stuck
to their posts until the steamer was
beached and every one of the $50 passen-
gers landed. In -ess than an hour after
the Bleaching Of the steamer she was
burned to the waters edge.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The Strathcona left here last evening
under command of Captain Reid Most
of the passengers were returning 20 their
homes along the east coast after few
days of Christmas shopping in Halifax.
A few hours after leaving port fire was
discovered in the after hold. Despite the
efforts of the officers and crew the
flames spread rapidly. A cry of fire was
raised. the widest confusion reigned. The
passengers, most of them clad only III
their night clothes, rushed on deck and
made a dash for the life boats, but the
crew prevented a panic. The boats Were
not launched, but were made ready for
use in case the flames completely envei-
oped the steamer before land could Oe

Stuck to Their Posts.
While the Strathcona was driven toward
land at top speed the sailors tried to fight
back the flames with streams of water.
The draft caused by the steamers rapid
progress, however, famed the flames into
greater fury, and in a short time the en-
tire interior portion of the vessel was on
fire Down in the engine rooms the en-
gineers and firemen stuck bravely 10 Their
posts although the flames had begun to
surround them. Not until the keel OF the
steamer grated on reef a mile from tbs
entrance of the harbOr did they abandon
their dangerous position and rush or the
deco. Then the boats were lowered and
all of the passengers found safety or
shore.
The StrathcOna was only two years old
was of 200 tons and was valued at $4,000
Not long ago the Strathcona ran into
and sank the sailing steamer Havana il
Halifax harbor and Was condemned Il
pay $50, 900 damages.
