MIRACLE SAVES
BURNING SHIP,
CAPTAIN SAYS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 81
The italian steamer Nettuno, Cap
tain G. Borsini, en- route from Port
Arthur to Brindisi, Italy. was towed
into this port today by the coast
guard cutter Yamacraw after being
afire at sea.
Captain Bersini attributes the SAL
walton of his ship to a miracle-the
explosion Of her fuel oil tanks,
which literally snuffed out the fire
after it had ragged unchecked for
twenty hours. The blaze originated
in the engine room from a bursting
feed pipe, when the Nettuno was
four days ut from Fort Arthur,
from which she cleared on January
Il with a cargo of gasoline and fuel
oil. AT that time she was off the
Florida coast. in the vicinity Of Ber-
muda.
In a few moments the Nettuno
was seething inferno amidships
and Captain Bersini stated that it
did not seem possible for her to
remain afioat but a short time.
For four days the crew was with
out food or sleep, but they fought
the flames heroically. Captain Ber-
SIM declared. The fire twisted and
wrecked the ships engine room and
cracked her steel decks and side
plates and it appeared that no NOR
tai aboard could survive.
Captain Bersini said he had expe-
rienced four years of war, had two
ships torpedoed under him and was
injured by one of the explosions
but none of those experiences
equaled the one from which he had
just emerged.
The Nettuno is owned by the Ital-
ian States Railways, her home port
being Palmero, Italy.

steamship Nettuno were landed al

by the Belgian steamship Kremlir
and rushed to a hospital for treat

fire broke out in the engine room of
the Nettuno off the coast of Florida
yesterday. One of the men, Liona-
di Viogannt, third engineer of the
