Eyentfnl Voyage

The British freight steamer ST. George
commanded by Capt. H. 3. Ssdler, ar
rived at Boston yesterday after it had es-
csped destruction by typhooD, and
later BY fire, which broke out 10 the cargo
Of hemp.
The st. George left New York last
June for Japan, laden with steel for the
japanese government Since that time
she had travelled "a, 900 miles, and for
the past 7s days she has been steaming
almost continuously.
While the freighter Was on her way
from Kutsinotsu, japan, to Cebu, ty-
phoon chased the vessel. 1t was the
same disturbance that devastated the port
of Hougkong. For time it looked as II
the vessel would be unable to escape, but
lust as the crew had abandoned hope the
ireighter steamed ont OF the grasp OF the
typhoon, which was shooting great
columns skyward.
The st. George then prOcee ded to Ma
nils, from which port she sailed on Octo-
ber 4 with cargo Of hemp. Sailing from
Algiers on November 2l the steamer was
out less than "a hours when brisk lire
vas discovered in No. hold. Steam was
injected iuto the compartment and the
vessel headed for Gibraltar, Just when il
was believed that the FIRE was subdu ed,
flames broke out anew ard we're not ex'
tiuguished until several hours after the
steamer had reached Gibraltar.
