 There is q rapid ringing of the ships bell for about a minute. " Instantly there is a change throughout the ship. Where but a moment before things were going on In the manner pre- scribed by the daily routine now all is activity. Men get to their fire stations with the alacrity induced by danger.
 Sailors under the direction of the ofa- cers get out hose lines and appear with axes and lanterns. One group IS rip ping the battenings off the main hatch. where the fire has been detected. They drag the canvas away and open the booby hatch Ca small opening in the large hatch cover), and immediately there pours out a column of dense black smoke.
 Two or three men make an attempt to go down, but after two or three trials they are obliged to give 1t up The captain gives tbe order to flood the hold and turn on the steam lines. Hose Is pushed into the opening, which by now resembles q crater, for the air ad mitted by taking the cover of has fed the flames, and smoke and flame roll out in alarming quantities.
 Suddenly the hose fills out and the swish of water under high pressure Ia heard. At almost the same time far beloy in the smoke filled hold the hiss ing and roaring of liberated steam reach the anxious ears on deck. 70 The hines connecting with the boilers have been put into use, and the fire Is al ready beginning to feel the choke or the steam as 1t keeps the air away and settles over everything in a dense' damn cloud. While some pumps are throwing tons of water into the hold others are hard at work taking that same water out, for any great amount of water sloshing about would enoan- ger the stability of the vessel.

Sparks snapa shut a switch, and then with daft dn' gers making m adjustment here and there listens in for the faint buzz that announces that his call has been heard. There comes just series of fatni buzzes, like the noise of fly on a drowsy summer afternoon. At once the operator is galvanized Into action Again the spark crashes out the ships position and need. Soon ships alter their courses and. with all possible speed make for the threatened ship. tc stand by in case of need
 Perhaps the crew are able to mastes the blaze. And, agaln-and this Is q danger that always stares them In the face-perhaps they can't What hap pens then is not always pleasant tc think about. You will doubtless recall the burning of the Uranium liner Vol turno and the lives that were lost theE while other ships stood by helpless That is what is likely to happen, when the blaze gets beyond control. And thb Is only one of the dangers that every seagoing ship must face.
