save the steamer.
While steaming along the coast OF

The blaze seemed to threaten the
safety of those on board and an alarm
was sounded. The passengers gath

her stateroom. She refused to enter
the boat until Captain George A. Nc

to laugh at the calmness of the child
and her concern over the safety of
her pet, and when the steward brought
the parrot to the deck he also an
