Ing been quilted from Ser tunnels for
ward by fire. which broke out on board
the liner Saturday evening. The flames
are supposed to have originated In
the saloon kitchen.
The FIRE brigade OF the vessel with
two powerful motor engines. turned
out Immediately at the first alarm and
found the first saloon burning nercely
from end to end. Despite all their ef.
forts the flames gradually worked for
ward until they reached the steerage
consuming every particle Of the wood
work there and then played havoc
with the forehold.
At this time the heat was tremen-
dous. and the flames shooting high
from the vessel attracted thousands
OF persons TO the side OF the river
where they remained throughout the
night.
II vas decided to food the vessel
by admitting water into her from the
deck. Soon she keeled over and her
tunnels came in contact with the
cranes on the dock and were badly
damaged.
half dozen firemen. who were on
the gangway AZ this time. were thrown
into the water but all we're rescued
A feet of tugs then was brought into
requisiiion. and pulled tho liner up
right and held her until she settled
firmly on the mud bottom
II was hours later before the FIRE
was under control and the fire brigade
was able TO rclinQuish i;s task. The
second class quarters and the whole
after part OF the boat including the
engine room. escaped injury from the
flames. and comparatively little dam
sge was done to the exterior OF the
vessel
Her upper part is considerably
above water The first saloon sky
lights were destroyed and the decks
forward are badly buckled. Some OF
the plates Of the hull were warped by
the heat. The repairs TO the Lucania
will occupy considerable time.
Divers who examined the Lucania
found that her machinery had not
been damaged and that her hull still
was sound. The fire will not interfere
with the sailings OF the other Cunard
line vessels from Liverpool. The Lu-
cania had been held in dock here as
a reserve boat and her next sailing
was scheduled for October
