BOAT CATCHES FIRE.
Blaze on the Salem Extlnguished by
the Tug Winterthur.

The United States steamboat Salem,
valued al more than $4,000. narrowly
escaped destruction by fire in the Del
aware river this morning, opposite
Pigeon Point The fire originated in
the boiler room. The boat. which was
en- route for Delaware City. carried
no cargo, and was on her first trip
after having undergone thorough
overhauling and renovation IN this
city.
Discovering that the ship was in
trouble, the tug Winterthur, belong
ing TO the Philadelphia q Reading
Railroad Co. which was passing at
that time, hurried 20 the Salem's aid.
Under the direction Of Captain s. 3.
Atkins. who was IN charge OF the Win
terthur. fire extinguishers from the
latter boat were used and the fire
was gotten under control before much
damage had been done.
The Salem. which left this city early
this morning. had just been given a
fresh coat Of paint. and il is believed
that the heat from the engine set this
on fire. and It in turn ignited the
woodwork IN the boiler room. But for
the timely arrival of the Winterthur
and the quick work OF Captain Atkins
the boat and her crew might have been
destroyed. AS ii was it was little dam
aged and continued on the journep
down the river.
