WIRELESS SAVED LIFE

Burning Sound Vessel.

Captain and Crew Kept Their Heads.
Women and Children Almost
in a Panic.

NEW YORK. March 13.-Fire .:oke out
Providence OIL the Fall River line, just
before dawn this morning, while the
steamboat was off Execution Rock. near
City Island, on her way to her pier In
the North river The flames spread rap
idly and smoke quickly filled the upper
decks of the boat, awakening the 900 pas
sengers. many of whom were women and
children.
Capt Appleby decided to take no
chances The Richard Peck OF the New
Haven line, two miles ahead. was sum-
moned by wireless and signaled to stand
by. The steamboats, were soon brought
together. Gangways were run from boat
to boat and all of the 600 passengers were
transferred from the smoke-filled Provi-
dence without mishap. The first light OF
dawn was then breaking.
Passengers Landed.
The spot where the sound steamboat
halted to transfer her passengers was
about ten miles east of the place where
the ill-fated Gen. Slocum was beached
and burned to the waters edge. Some
of the Providence's women passengers
were hysterical and all were pretty nerv-
Gus from the ordeal of smoke.
The 600 passengers were landed by the
Peck half an hour later at the Fall River
line pier. at the foot of Warren street. in
the North river. The crew of the Provi-
dence had hard fight with the blaze, but
succeeded in extinguishing it after the
passengers had left. She made her pier
about 8 o'clock.
The Providence left Fall River last
night with an unusually large number oi
passengers aboard for this season of the
year.
The night trip along the sound passed
without incident. The weather was clear
and a half moon and stars made the night
bright.
CAPT. Appleby was on duty in the wheel
house of the Providence from O'Clock

The lights of the Richard Peck were
growing visible ahead. and Sands Poin
light had just been passed to port wher
a breathless deckhand broke into the
wheelhouse with the cry of ''Fire!' AL
most at the same instant call came vi
through the speaking tube from the en-
gine room saying that the room was fill.

As the captain jerked the engine room

dense smoke already met him. and on the
main deck he found the freight amidships
in hot blaze. The crew had already beer
summoney quietly and were fighting the
blaze with five streams from nearby hy-
drants. 1t was stated that a stream was
got on the flames within a minute after
they were discovered. The situation ap.
peared to be SO serious that Capt. Ap-
pleby Immediately signaled the Peck by
wireless to return for the passengers.
