White Star steamer Oceanic, which
was discovered I'm the steerage shortly
after a. m, was not brought under
control for two hours. The fire start

proved to be hot blaze. The crew
was called to quarters and did what 1t
could to extinguish the flames. but
when they spread to the cargo out
side aid had to be called. In the after
hold were 1877 barrels of glucose,
which burned like Gil, and that part OF
the cargo was soon entirely aflame.
II was below the water line and there
was nothing spectacular about the
blaze. The crew closed the after COM
partments and then the firemen
drowned out the flames.
All the bedding and other perishable
fittings of the steerage were destroyed,
In addition to a quantity Of freight.
Among the cargo was some theatrical
scenery belonging to Forbes Robert.

after successful season In America,
and this is said to have been burned
or damaged.
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
but suspicion was prevalent on the
dock that II was the result of incen-
diarism.
