Transport Crew Fights
Fire 3 Days and Nights
Shrapnel Explodes While Cases
of Munitions Are Thrown
Overheard

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 6.-Fo,
eight days and nights Captain Eugene
Mccarthy and the crew of the United
states army transport Marcia fought
and finally conquered a fire in the
SHIPS cargo of munitions, while small
arms ammunition, shrapnel, grenades
and bombs burst, it was learned here
recently on the transports return from
Manila.
Smoke was seen first issuing from
one Of the forward matches at 10
o'clock at night during the ships last
voyage to the Philippines. Water was
turned into the hold, where 1000 tons
OF ammunition of all sizes were stored
Explosions Of munitions in one
hatch were taking place every little
WHILE" said Captain Mccarthy. THE
cargo there included shrapnel shells.
hand grenades, decorating fuses,
bombs and small arms ammunition.
My men carried case after case of mu-
nitions likely to explode at any mo-
ment from the hold and threw them
overheard. The boxes were too hot TO
handle with bare hands, so the men
wore gloves.
II had to maneuvcr the Marcia be-
fore the wind to keep the fire from
spreading. On the eighth night it got
so bad we had to leave the hold, batten
down the matches and turn on the
smothcring pipes. We flooded the hold
with water and two nights later the
blaze was extinruished"
