British Steamer Loaded With
Chinese Is Burned at
HOngkOng Wharf.
HELPLESS VICTIMS ARE
HEMMED IN BY FLAMES
Europeans on Board Manage to
Escape; CelestialS Suffer
Cremation.

HONGKONG, Oct. 14.-Tho British
steamer Hankow, from Canton, was
burned at $40 clock tins Sunday
morning while lying alongside her
wharf. Hundreds of Chinese passengers
were burned to death and valuable
cargo was destroyed. All the European
passengers and crew were saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 1000 CHI
nese passengers, men, women and chill
dren. and seven Europeans and cargo
including 800 bales of mating, $50
bales OF raw silk and 400 bales Of waste
silk. arrived from Canton at 3 o clock
this morning and was shortly after
ward moorcd at the wharf.
Her chief officer reported TO Captain
Branch that the ship was afre. The
captain then directed the chief engl-
neer to turn on the water through the
fire hose.
Water Was Gut OF.
This was impossible for the reason
| that within FIVE minutes after the alarm
| was given the Hankow was ablaZe fore
and Mt. Captain Branch then awakened
the European passengers, who rushed
down the gangway, the ladies IN their
night clothes. The crew was compelled
to leave the ship. which by this time
was a veritable furnace.
| The Chinese steerage passengers were
thrown into a frightful panic. Horrify-
! ing shrieks TO save their lives were
heard. but escape was impossible, ow-
ing to the innnmmablc nature of the
cargo. Hundreds were burned TO death
and many others jumped into the har-
| Dor and were drowned
Flames Leapcd Sixty Feet.
Responding to siguols, tho British
cruiser Flora and the naval dock yard
dispatched contingents of engines and
assistance. The land and floating
brieades of fremen made heroucan
efforts to cNtinguish tho flames, which
lcapcd to height of over sixty feet:
The British steamer Row An. which
was berthed at the same wharf, was
towed out TO save her from destruction,
4 neighboring pier, a hundred yards
distant, was burned TO the water s edge.
Gov. Nathan, accompanied by his
aide de camp, arrived AT the scene of
l4:l5 a m. Gov. Nathan suggested
scuttliug the ship, but the suggestion
was found TO be mpracticable.
The fire was brought under control
at q clock a. M, at which time
only tho shell and hull of the Naukow
remained The grcwsomc work OF re
covering the dead was then begun.
The fire fighters have already re
covered seVenty-hve corpscs. Many al
them were huddlcd together and only
sinped, while others were lncineratcd
beyond recognition. Of the cargo, 200
bales of raw silk were saved, but badly
damaged by water The remainder was
totally destroyed.
There arc many theories as to The
cause of the fire. The first is that II
was caused by the overturning OF The

in her mind as regards the burglar.
If he did not find the diamonds he was
quite capable of returning to murder
her. On the whole Hagar concluded
that 1t would be just as we'll for society
at large and herself in particular If Mr..
Smith were restored to thei prison
whence he had lately emerged After
some consideration she resolved to see
Vark, the lawyer, and tell him the cpl
sode of the mandarin. taking the image
with her as evidence. Vark, If any one,
would be able to deal with the intrica-
cies of the affair.
In the meantime Bill Smith had re-
paired to the public house which
guarded the narrow entrance to CARLY s
crescent and there was drowning his
regrets in strong drink. AS he drained
his tankard of ale he fell into conversa-
ton. with the fat landlords brutal
looking prize fighter, who looked as
though he had been in jail-quite q
bird of Mr.. Smiths feather. These two
congenial spirits recognized each other
and became friendly-so friendly in
deed that Bill thought 1t a good op-
portunity to extract information re-
garding the whereabouts of Bolker
He was too wise to explain his rea-
sons for making these inquiries.

The results of this conversation was
that Mr.. Smith repaired to Leicester
square and loafed UP and down the
pavement before the bookshop. He saw
Bolker several times during the day
for. having been told by the landlord
that the lad was hunchabck, he had
no difficulty recognizing him, UP til
the evening he kept u close watch, and
when Boiker had put UP the shutters
and was walking toward Lambeth
Bill followed MIN stealthily. All un'
knowing that he was followed by q
black shadow of crime and danger
Bolker paused on Westminster bridge
TO admire the red glories of the sun
set; then plunged into the network ol
alleys which make up Lambeth. In q
quiet lane by the river he was gripped
from behind; large hand was clappec
over his mouth to prevent his crying
out, and he was dragged down on to q
ruined wharf which ran out through
green slime into the turpid waters OF
the stream.

captor in savage tone--''sn I've got

Bolker gasped with alarm; but, not
recognizing the threatening face OF
the man before him, he recovered lit
tie OF his native impudence and began
to bluster.
