But the Captain held that a few minutes spent
in communicating to the little of his own
calmness would not be time wasted.
Wherefore, when the first class passengers quietly
and reassuringly aroused, hurried half dressed from
their cabins, they found efficiently organized
force already working with definite purpose for
their safety. The occupants of the Steerage, less
subject to self CONTROL and to the only too
apparent danger, might have given trouble and Sc
rously mpeded the workers. but for the forethought

met the badly frightened emerants not with threats
and curses, but with smiles, apologies for disturbing
them over such small matter, and urns of hot
coffee.
The first efforts of the fire fighters were directed
to combining the flames to the portion of the hold
in which they had started. To this end, ventators
and hatchways plugged and sealed tight, pre-
paratory to the attack with the hose. But
though to make mock of their endeavOrS, the draft
from the engine room sucked in great lengths of

within hour of the discovery of the first spiral

Holes were cut in the saloon deck through which
to pass lines of hose; but this discovered
to be mistake; the deck flooring quickly
nailed back in place. What do next? Nothing,
apparently, but to wait for daylight, and that,
under the circumstances, came perilously near to
inviting panic. But the Captain not the only
brave man aboard, nor the only man with ideas.
Upon ears bent eagerly to catch the first crackle
of the flames under the deck which saloon and

moment the survivors reached Gun Cay Island,
of the small coral outgrowths that dot these
waters. Here they existed for five days. but when
provisions and hope of succor were both to the
vanishing point they rescued.
No word of the arrival of the Carrie E. Long at any
Cuban port having been received the owners had
got into communication with the Havana, sister
ship which had left Philadelphia two days later
than the bark, and had instructed the Captain to
cruise among the islands for few days and keep

storm. Hence, the flags of distress suggestive of

Dawn came, but no sail was reported by the
lookout The first thorough examination of con-
ditons aboard the Colbert showed that the fire had
eaten its way far forward that at any minute
the deck beams might warp and the flames burst
through. Every available carpet and rug in the
ship torn up, soaked in water, and laid
again, in the hope of at least partially snothering
the fire. But the heat continued to increase, and
its spread.
Late in the afternoon it discovered that the
they were dull red. Evidently the hold must be
gigantic furnace which might at any time force
the rvets, open the seams, and allow the water to
rush in and sink the ship.
And STILL encouraged by the confidence displayed
by kaempff and his crew, the passengers refused
to allow their fears to find expression. Instead,
they became volunteer members of the bucket
brigade that, during the whole of the evening and
the long night that followed, hoisted water and
poured it over the plates above sea level.
