Fire Breaks Out During a Fierce
Storm and the Crew Fight All
Day Before 1t Is Finally
Extinguished.

New York, Oct. 1O.-The Austrian
from Trieste with 1853 passengers, had
a barrow escape from destruction by
fire in midocean during violent
storm on Oct. 3. The crew fought the
flames all day before they We're ex-
tinguished while the panic-stricke
passengers prayed for help.
Officers of the ship describe the eX-
perience as terrible. To prevent
frightened women from throwing
themselves into the sea, part of the
crew had to be detailed as guards.
Discovery OF the Fire.
The Giulia left Trieste Sept. II,
calling at Patras and Almeria. After
passing Gibraltar, Sept. %, the steam
er encountered stormy weather, with
heavy seas. At daylight on the morn,
ing Of Oct. 3, while about roo miles
west of the Azore islands, one of the
crew discovered fire in the cargo at
the bottom OF No. 2 hold.
The wind was blowing violently
from the southwest and the Giulia
was laboring heavily. Captain Cheru-
bini ordered part of the cargo broken
out and water was turned into the
hold, but the fire stubbornly resisted
the efforts of the crew.
Many OF the Passengers Pray.
In the meantime the passengers, Of
whom there were twenty seven in the
cabin and 1856 in the steerage, learned
Of the danger. Many Of them fell ON
their knees in prayer, while others
became hysterical, adding 10 the cares
of the harassed officers and crew
when every effort was necessary to
save the ship and her big company.
The ships boats were prepared to
meet any emergency. but after the
hold had been flooded and part Of the
cargo thrown overheard the fire was
extinguished about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon.
Threatened to Shoot Deserters.
At the moment when the condition
Of the Guilia was most desperate and
the energy of every man was required
to fight the fire several of the crew
abandoned their posts and began to
lower one Of the ships boats.
The first officer headed off the lit
tie party by threatening to shoot the
first man to start to lower the boat.
The men returned to their work. in
which many of the men In the steer
age were compelled to assist them.

Faithfully Performs His Duty
Even When Threatened
with Death.
FIGHTS AGAINST TWO ROBBERS
Refuses to Reveal Hiding Place
of Keys to Hundreds OF New
York Offices.
Failure of Job Which Would Have
Made the Manhattan Bank Rob-
berry of Years Ago Look
Cheap in Comparison.

New Yorn, Oct. 1O.-An aged watch
mans faithful performance OF his
duty even when death was threatened
prevented a robbery early in the day,
which, if it had been successful, those
familiar with the case say, would have
caused a sensation almost as great AS
that which followed the looting of the
Manhattan bank many years ago.
Richard F. Grey, watchman in the
lofty Century building, at IA Broad
way. near the center of the financial
district, was the hero. He is now ila
the hospital suffering from wounds
which he received in desperate single
attacked him while he was making his
rounds on the nineteenth floor of the
building after midnight.
Old Man Made Hard Fight.
Although 60 years old, Grey made a
most determined fight against his as
sailants and it was not until he had
been battered until almost unconscious
that he was overcome. Even then he
refused to reveal to the robbers the
hiding place Of the keys to the hun
dreds of offices IN the great building
In their desperation the robbers chloro-
formed the old man as he lay bleed
ing on the floor and then began q sys-
tematic search of the lower portion of
the building for the missing keys Ap-
parently they were unsuccessful In
their search, for when Grey revived
and staggered down the nineteen
flights of stairs to the basement the
men had disappeared.
Views of a Detective.
A detective who had a talk with
Grey Is Of the opinion that clerk at
one time employed in the building was
the instigator Of the attempted rob-
berry and that his companion was an
expert bank thief. IF these men had
gotten the keys from the watchman,"
said the detective, they would have
done a job that would have made the
Manhattan bank robbery look like a
cheap affair. They were after one
safe in that building and that was all
they wanted. They knew that the Sc
curities in that safe were worth untold
thousands, and they also knew that to
attempt to force the door would ring
burglar alarms and that in an instant
the building would be surrounded by
police"
Financial District Guarded.
AS a result of the attempted rob
berry scores of extra detectives end ad
ditional police from a dozen stations
were on guard In the financial district
A Gordon of men was thrown around
the district bounded by Wall and
Cedar and Nassau and Greenwich
streets. and a search was made in all
buildings in that territory into which
the police could force their way. but
no trace of the desperadoes could be

however, that the emperor is seri-
