M[NACfD BY DEATH
IN BURNING BOAT
Watchman Is Awakened by
Flames and Leaps From
Steamer Into Mud

ALAMEDA. May 30.-Aroused from
his sleep by the flames licking UP the
partitions of his room on board the
steamer F. Nj. Smith A. Wunstorf, the
Watchman, had a narrow escape from
death early this morning and fought a
desperate battle with the treacherous
mud and quicksands that surround the
vessel The steamer was destroyed
For three months the f. NJ. Smith has
been for sale, and has been lying IN
the mud in the estuary off the north
ern END of Bay street. Wunstorf was
engaged as watchman a few days ago
by the owner, Harry G.. Williams of
Oakland. He had seen that everything
was right before retiring last night
The man was awakened at l o'clock
this morning by the cracking OF the
names In his room. He jumped from
his bed to find the steamer a mass OF
fire. To escape from the vessel he was
forced to plunge into the. soft mud
and only after being compelled to lie
down and roll was he able to reach
the shore. Wunstorf said:
1T seemed to me as if the fire origi-
mated in the hold of the steamer. l
had been asleep for several hours, when
/ was awakened by the cracking of
the fire, and found that l was cut off
from the shore. 1 jumped into the mud
and sank nearly to my shoulder pits
1t took me Is or 20 minutes to get
ashore"
When the fire broke out both the
Alameda and the Oakland fire depart
ments were trying to locate the blaze.
The steamer lay in an almost in
cessible place it being necessary TO
walk several miles along the levee to
reach the vessel Much of the other
shipping in the harbor was endangered
by the fire, the F. NJ. Smith lying only
few feet from the old bark California.
The burned vessel was a stern wheel
bay and river craft, which was taken
over by Williams after foreclosure
proceedings. 1t was under charter 70
the Arper transportation company.
Williams said the total loss was be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, including the
amount invested in the business. The
boat was insured for $4,000 to $4,000.
The cause of the fire was not ascer-
tanned.
