BURNING of a Steamer.

Malta, Nov. rs Many lives, the
number OF which cannot be ascertsined
fer several hours, we're lost when the
Papaysuni Ellerman Liner Sardinia was
destroyed by FIRE outside Of this barbor
today. The steamer, which plies be-
tween Liverpool, Malta and Alexandris,
had on b. ard some 200 passengers, %
or 80 of whom were English, aud car
ried a crew of Al Many of the passen-
gers are missing and several of them are
undoubtedly penned 10 the smoking hull
which lies on the shore of the harbor
en- rance, while others we're drowned
when they jumped overheard to escape
the flames which enveloped the vessel.
The Sardinia left Malta early today for
Alexsndris, carrying, in addition to the
passengers and crew, large cargo OF
me rchsndise. She had hardly cleared
the harbor entrance when smoke was OBJ
served issuing from the cargo hold. The
crew were summoned to fire quarters and
detachment sent below. Almost be-
fore they had disappeared below decks
the forward hatch seemed to explode and
10 an instant the vessel was sblaze from
Of m to stem.
A frightful panic followed among the
passengers who had been left to them
selves while the crew was fighting the
flames. Men, women and children ran
franIicslly to the stern of the boat, the
jnly p'acs where there was seeming
refuge from the fire. But strong wind
vas blowing and famed by it the blaze
swept out across the helpless people,
scorching them where they stood.
Immediately many began to jump
into the ses without trying to secure life
preservers, and 1t is feared most OF these
were lost, although few we're la.er
| landed from salvage stt amers.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOV. Is 1908.

The automobile is growing terror,
every day adding to the casualties OF this
modern device for transportation. Three
pers1ns were killed, three fatally Injured
and seventeen Injured In and near New
York from Sunday night until yesterday
morning. In one instance two men VINO
were walking along road Sunday night
were struck by an automobile, which
was running at high rate OF speed, and
instantly killed. The occupants OF the
machine did not stop, and the bodies OF
the victims we're found by a milkman
next morning. 1t will be almost i'm
possible to-identify the automobile OF
those who were in 1t. la most cases
the occupants Of the whizzing csr' are
the victims when accidents occur, but
occasion ally people on streets or public
roads are crushed to death or crippled by
these machines. 10 most states laws
are ON the statute books making it o
misdemeanor to run automobiles at an
unlawful speed, although but few arrests
are made from the fact that it is no easy
matter to identify the chautfeurS, who
generally wear goggles.

The blight of the Sardinia bad been

The plight of the Sardinia had been
noticed from The shore. All the admiral
ty tugs ira. were in barbor hurried to
the scene. Owing to the gale which
tanned the FIRE, they could not approach
very close, but finally lines were run out
and the Sardinia towed to the shore.
She vas b. ached as quickly ss possible
and every effort was then made to extin-
guish the FIRE. This was impossible,
owing to the elements and the inhan-
mable nature of the cargo which was now
completely ignited. The hsrbor tugs
we're directed to 8 and by and search the
ruins as soon as they could be cooled,
while other tugs were detailed to cruise
about in the hope thst some OF the sur
yivors might still be tAoat 10 the sea.
The tugs that we're despatched to look
for survivors have picked up a number
and are still cruising of the harbor and
in the vicinity of the wrecked vessel.
The survivors are scsttered among so
many rascuing boats that 1t will be I'm
possible to secure any facts about the
desth list until all return to port.
The Sardinia was built OF iron and
steel and vas of ,5l6 tons burden

crew were badly burned, and the cause
Of the FIRE is a myst'ry, although 1t is
