BEGIN RIGID INQUIRY
into FIRE ON THE LA TOURA|NE

Havre. March "a rigid inquiry al
ready has been begun into all phases OF
the fire at sea aboard the French line
steamer La Touraine, which locked
here yesterday afternoon. landing safely
all her passengers, Admiral Cha-lier
of the ministry of marine and Director
Duorot of the Compagnie Generate
Trans Atlantique boarded the vessel up
on her arrixal and started the investi-
CATION at once. The report of Admiral
Charlier will be submitted TO the gov
eminent.
The passengers apparently were none
the worse for their thrilling experience.
The rire which was confined to one OF
the holds was exinguished at midnight
Sunday and the last stage OF the voyage
was completed without incident
Everything Orderly
As soon as the fire was discovered life
belts were distributed among the passen-
gers and the boats were prepared for
instant use, but at no time was there
any real danger, according TO a state
ment made by Captain Caussin. who de-
ciared the S. .. S. call for assistance
was sent out merely as measure of
precaution. There was no disorder and
no panic, he said, the passengers accept
ing the situation calmly in the belief
that the fire would be conquered and
THAI other steamers would reply prompt
ly to the wireless summons.
The steamer Rotterdam, one Of the
vessels whicA answered La Touraine' s
call and stood by until the fire was ex-
tingu:shed, left the French liner at
Prayle Point. Eng. The French cruisers
Guichen and DuPetit Thouars, which
also went TO La Touralne assistance.
escorted her however, as far as Cher
bourg. Other vessels which answered
Capt Caussins call We're informed there
was no need for their services AMI con.
tinued their trips after receiving the
thanks OF the liners commander.
