As soon as they had been freed of the
care Of the passengers, the crew of
the Providence gave their whole at
tention to fighting the fire with the re-
suit that the flames were quickly eX-
tinguiShed. The fire started in large
box of wool hats which was stored
on the freight deck. The burning box
was dra eyed out from among the other
pieces OF freight and thrown into the
sound.

some loss by water. The steamer was
not badly damaged. the greatest in

ficers OF the Richard Peck praised
