Old Dominion Liner Limps Into
Norfolk Late Yesterday
With Her Crew All Worn Out
From Efforts.
PASSENGERS DID NOT
KNOW ABOUT DANGERS
They Were Told That Smoke
Came From Engine Room

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 15.-After An all
night battle with a fire in her forward
compartment in a cargo of heavy mix
ed freight, the Old Dominion steamer
Hamilton, reached here late today
with thoroughly exhausted crew and
the flames still unconquered.
Few of the forty odd passengers
from New York knew there was a fire,
mainly because they were not permit
ted to go below, and because when
they asked questions about smoke is
suing FROM the direction of the freight
hold they were told that it came from
the engine room.
Could Not Turn Back.
The Hamilton was only four hours
from New York when the fire was
discovered but she was in the teeth
of a northeaster and the ice in the
channel made it impossible. her cap
tain said, to turn back. He thought
at the time that the crew would be
able to cope with the flames and the
vessel continued on her journey to
Norfolk. But the fire gained head
way despite the efforts of the crew.
Under the personal direction of Capt.
n. B. Boaz, and all Of last night while
her passengers remained in their
staterooms, the men fought like de-
mons to subdue the flames.
The ship was tossed about in the
gale like SO much paper and the crew
had difficulty in keeping on their feet
while fighting the fire. 1t was freez-
ing cold weather and the men suffer-
hot drinks at intervals to enable them
to keep up the fight.
Caused Her to List.
The ship was buffeted about to
such an extent by the storm that her
cargo shifted and she was listing
when she crept into port today.
The Hamilton without a fire in her
hold would have had trouble enough
on the trip from New York after her
cargo shifted, but the double danger
in the teeth of the northeaster caus-
ed some anxiety to her officers.
Despite the fact that the ship put
on all steam possible. she did not
reach her dock until three hours late
A wireless from the Hamilton was
received requesting the officials to
have the local fire department meet
the ship when she reached port and
assist in fighting the flames. The
mastery manner in which Capt. Boaz
handled the situation was the subject
of concentrations from the officials oil
the line and congratulatory telegrams
were received by him from headquart
ers of the company in New York.
Fire Chief Mclaughlin. who with a
crew from one of the stations met the
ship. stated that too much praise
could not be bestowed on Capt. Boaz
for the manner in which he handled
the situation for keeping the passen
gers In ignorance of their possible
danger.
After the ship had been flooded
with water it was said late this ev
ening that the fire was out. The dam
age. officials say, is to freight alone
and will aggregate about $4,000. The
cargo is now being removed from the
ship.
