Various Causes Assigned.
One of the theories Is that the fire
was caused by the overturning of a
runner, who came aboard seeking
customers. Another was that an
opium smoker accidentally set fire
to the mating. The one considered
the most probable Is that the fire was
incendiary and was the outgrowth of
the boycott against the British river
