as a precautionary measure.
The most graphic story Of the fight
against the flames was told by DR..
Joseph Byrne, a professor Of Fordham
University and a specialist in nervous
diseases. DR.. Byrne was one of the
few passengers who knew OF the fire,
and he paid special attention to the
effect on the nerves OF the crew.

Calm, But Nervous.
"A large number of stewards were
also on deck. They were calm, but
plainly nervous. They spoke to each
other in excited whispers as though
to keep me from overhearing what
they said
None of the women on board
knew of the fire, although many re-
marked on the heat in the dining
saloon. When l was told OF the fire,
walked aft and looked at the hatch
way BY that time. however. there
was no smoke coming out. The only
way It WAS possible to tell anything
unusual existed was by the steam
that was issuing from the sides Of
the hatch covers"
A canvass OF the passengers after
the ship had locked proved that not
more than half a dozen knew Of the
fire.
! Captain Candy belittled the fire as
an incident, but subsequently made
the following statement:
"On Thursday afternoon a slight
alarm of smoke was reported in No.

turned on Immediately and 1t has
been turned on ever since as a pre-
cautionary measure. Tho hold is still
closed and will remain so until Mon

when the fire was first discover
ed It naturally caused us some
anxiety. because we had tho lives of
$40 passengers to think of. Chief
Engineer Joyce and I went down and
turned on the steam. There was no
excitement and no confusion on the
part of the passengers. Very few of
the cabin passengers knew of 1t, and
none of the steerage passengers
I'm an hour after the fire was re-
ported all danger was over and the
fire was under control. The fire was
probably caused by spontaneous COM

The cargo there consisted of wooden
goods. a quantity of clothing and con-
signments OF women's hats"
No estimate Of the damage done by
the fire can be made until the hatch
