George Wingfeld, who, with his as

Wingheld. The 1888 sacks of ore al.

BIGSTEAMERBURNED.
THE STRATHCONA, OFF COAST
near HALIFAX, N. S.
Despite Efforts Of Crew, the Flames
spead RapidIy-Enslneer and Fire
men Stuck to Their Posts Until
Steamer Was eeached, Thereby Saw
ing All the Passengers.

Halifax, N. s., Dec. 24.-Word was
received here Sunday from Port Duff
ferin, small coast town some 60 miles
east of this city, of the destruction by
fire of the passenger steamer Strath-
coma, owned by the Halifax & Canso
Steamship company, and bound from
this port for Canso and Guysboro.
That no lives were lost is due princi-
pally to the heroism Of the engineer
and fremen, who stuck to their posts
until the steamer was beached and
every one of the $50 passengers land
ed. In less than an hour after the
Bleaching of the steamer she was burn
ed to the waters edge.
The Strathcona left here Saturday
evening under the command of Cap
tain Reid. Most of the passengers
were returning to their homes along
the east coast, after a few days of
Christmas shopping in Halifax. A few
hours after leaving port fire was dis
covered in the after hold. Despite
the efforts of the officers and crew,
the flames spread rapidly.
Passengers ScantiIy Gowned.
When the cry of fire was raised the
widest confusion reigned. The pas
sengers, most of them clad only in
their night clothes, rushed on deck
and made dash for the lifeboats, but
the crew prevented panic. The boats
were not launched, but were made
ready for use in case the flames COM
pletely enveloped the steamer before
land could be reached. The terror
stricken passengers were huddled to-
gether in the bow Of the ship, which
was headed for Port Dufferih, the
nearest place on the treacherous
coast, where the steamer could find
harbor.
Runs at Top Speed for Land.
. While the Strathcona was driven to-
ward land at top speed. the sailors
tried to fight back the flames with
streams of water. The drat. caused
by the steamers rapid progress, how
ev. :. flnned the flames into greater
fury, and in a short time the entire
Interior portion of the vessel was on
fire. Down in the engine rooms the
engineers and firemen stuck bravely to
their posts, although the flames had
begun to surround them.
To Shore IN Small Boats.
Not until the keel of the steamer
grated on reef a mile from the en-
trance to the harbor, did they abandon
their dangerous position and rush. to
the deck. Then boats were lowered
and all tn, passenger foun: safet.
on shore.
The Strathcona was only two years
old and was valued at $4,000.
Not long ago the Strathcona ran
into and sank the sailing steamer Ha-
vana in Halifax harbor and was con-
demned to pay $4,000 damages.
