FRANCHISE d 'Amboise, from Newcastle
for San Francisco with cargo of coal
Fire, which threatened in the forward
hold Friday, became reality yester,
day. That hold also will have to be
iunloaded, and men will begin tomor
row. They will continue on the after
hold also, from which about l25 tons
was taken yesterday. " . ".r1" .
The men began working in fifteen
minute shifts yesterday. They had
had thirty-minute shifts before. They
are getting closer to the Are and fur,
ther away from the air, which combine
to make conditions worse. A heavy
odor of burning gas hangs above the
open hatch. The Japanese stevedoref
wear respirators when at work.
II appears that at least half of the
2l79 tons of coal will have to come
out. Five hundred tons was the esti

smoking. .,aa ..s n ... ......
The oil ship Falls of Clyde, due to
