OIL FIRE KEEPS

Burning since early Wednesday
morning, the oil tanker Trinidadian.
which caught fire from the wharf at
the Union Petroleum Company's
plant at Marcus Hook which was al
most destroyed, will be total loss.
The vessel was suIl ahre this morn
ing, the blazing oil in her hold hav-
ing risen by the force OF the tide.
making a spectacular scene The blaz
ing boat has been a menace to nayi-
CATION and a strict watch has been
kept to prevent the flames from
communicating to river front prop
erty and other vessels.
The Sun Oil Company's plant,
about a quarter of a mile below the
burning ship, was especially in dan
ger. Several barges, loaded with oil.
were removed from the company's
wharves as a precaution. Men en-
ployed by this company, also the
Pure Oil Company and the Texas Oil
Company, are stationed about the
property of these concerns keeping
watch
Captain Edward Parry, an officer
of the Trinidad Lake Petroleum Com
pany, states that the Trinidadian
when the fire had finally burned it
self out would be absolutely worth
less. She will no doubt be towed to
a scrap heap and sold for old iron.
The ship was valued at 100000 and
at the time she caught nre there
were from 100000 to 100000 gallons
of oil in her tanks
The scene along the water front of
the fire swept plant is one of ruin.
Nothing remains except piles of de

solutely and without qualification,
the statements printed in this

unfair toward him, and no re-
porter on this newspaper is in
