New York, Mar. 14.-Prompt and
determined action on the part of Capt.
Appleby Of the Fall River line steamer
Providence and the use of the wireless
telegraph prevented catastrophe
when fire broke out on board the YES

sound, bound from Fall River for New

Three hundred and fifty passengers
were asleep on the Providence when
the fire was discovered on the freight
deck Off Sands point, 20 miles from
New York. Fearing that II the alarm
were permitted to spread over the
ship there would be panic. the cap
tain sent wireless call to the steamer
Richard Peck of the same line, which
he knew must be somewhere In the
vicinity. The Peck also was bound
for New York. and although she had
not been sighted during the night 1t
was known that her schedule would
bring her at that hour to a point With

explained, each steamer was told OF
the others position, and they started
toward each other. When they met
the fire was still burning on the
Providence, but the passengers, who
had been aroused a few minutes be-
fore, had been told of the relief on the
way, and were waiting to be trans
ferred to the other steamer. The sea
was calm and the transfer was made
quickly and with little difficulty. The
officers say that there was not even
sign of uneasiness among the pas
sengers.
AS soon as they had been freed OF
the care of the passengers the crew
of the Providence gave their whole
attention to fighting the fire, with the
result that it was eXtinguished soon.
