Seattle, Wash, May l2.-Fire was

Monday, while the ship was about
1000 miles from Cape F1attery.
For two days and nights the officers
and crew fought the fire with steam

bulkheads and streams turned in on
the flames.
No estimate was made of the fire
loss. as the burning hold will not be
opened until the steamer reaches Ia
coma. The cargo consists of rice, pea
