today when the steamer was destroyed
by fire just after she had sailed for
Alexandria, Egypt.
The Sardinia was scarcely a mile off
Grand harbor when the first sign OF
fire appeared, but with strong wind
to fan the flames the whole ship was
soon ablaze and the passengers and
crew had scarcely chance for their
lives. There was wild scene of ranio
ON board as the rapidly spreading
flames drove the passengers to the
rails, and many excited ones plunged
into the sea. Scores are believed ia
have been drowned. Others, trapped by
the fire, were literally roasted to death
or smothered.
There were many craft in the harbof
at the time Of the disaster and several
tugs and small vessels rushed to ths
assistance of the imperiled liner A
high sea and half gale which pre-
vailed at the time, however, made it
impossible for them to even approach
the Sardinia, and they could do little

The Sardinia left Liverpool Nov IA
with a cargo of general merchandise
for Mediterranean ports. Her crew
numbered forty four. About twenty
first class and six second class pas

of her other passengers undoubtedly
were Levantines, Maltese and Figyp-
