SHIP IN FLAMES.
Fighting Fire in Mid Ocean During a
Violent Storm.

The Australian steamer Giulla,
which arrived in New York on Friday
from Trieste with 763 passengers,
had narrow escape from destruction
by fire in mid-ocean, during violent
storm on October 3rd.
The crew fought the flames all day
before they were extinguished, while
the panic-stricken passengers prayed
for help.
The Giulla left Trieste September
14th, calling at Patras and Almeria.
After passing Gibraltar, September
25th, the steamer encountered stormy
weather with heavy seas.
At daylight on the morning of Octo-
ber 3rd while about 700 niles west of
the Azore~ islands, one of the crew
discovered fire Il the cargo at the bot
tom of No. hold. The wind was
blowing violently from the southwest
and the Giulla was laboring heavily.
Captain Cherubini ordered part of
the cargo broken out and water was
turned into the hold, but the fire
stubbonly resisted the efforts of the
crews.
In the meantime the passengers, OF
whom there were 27 in the cabin and
1876 nj the steerage, learned of the
danger. Many of them fell on their
knees in prayer while others became
hysterical, adding to the cares of the
harrassed officers and crew when ev-
cry 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 three o'clock in
the afternoon.
