cape the penalties of the law for
delinquency.

NORWEGIAN BOAT.
L|MP|NG To PORT.
DAMAGED BADLY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The Norweg~
ian freighter Synga, which cleared
from this port yesterday, returned to-
day with fire raging in hold No. 1,
and asked for help in controlling the
FIRE. The freighters' destination, as
shown by her papers, is Archangel,
Russia, the White Sea port of the
Gar.
Definite information is-not available,
hut local port authorities presume the
Synga's cargo consists principally of
war munitions and military supplies.
No passengers were taken from New
York, when the vessel sailed yes
terday. The Synga is now anchored
OIL quarantine in the lower bay, and
a fire boat has been sent to assist the
crew
Because of the supposed dangerous
character of the cargo carried, incom-
ing liners are being warned not to
approach the Synga's anchorage, un-
til the fire in the hold is again under
control. 1t will probably be several |
days before the vessel again clears for
its destination. An Investigation as
to the cause of the fire has been or
dered begun.

Fire Believed Under Control.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-News from
the lower bay this afternoon is to the
effect that fire in hold No. 1 of the
Sigma is under control. no expiana-
ton concerning the origin f the blaze
has yet been offered. Members of the
crew are unable to say whether or not
an explosion occurred in the hold, and
the vessel will be partially unloaded
in an effort to locate the cause of
the trouble.
Steel rails and various forms of
structural steel form the main cargo
OF the Synga, though there is also
a great quantity of railway supplies Of
other description on board A small
amount of high explosives are carried,
but the fire occurred in a distant part
of the vessel from this cargo. The
fire was discovered shortly after leay-
ing port, and the captain at once put
back into New York.
The fire in the hold of the Synga is
the latest of long series of fires, ex-
Plosions and accidents to occur on
vessels shortly after sailing from
United States ports with cargoes OF
supplies for armies of the Entente AL
lies. The customs authorities here
will make determined effort to fer
ret out the cause of these accidents, "
because of their frequency. Little
damage has been sustained by the
Synga, and the cargo on board is
damaged only slightly

So complete is this despotism OF

Since the operation of the hidden sYs-
