Flames Visible II Miles

Savannah, Oct. 1 LP,-With her bulkheads red hot with heat from flames that broke out at sea and were under control after a nine-hour struggle, the American freighter New Britain was steaming today to- ward Savannah or Charleton, s. C., while the United States coast guard cutter Seneca and the fire tug Will liam McCauley were en route to meet her and render any aid pec- essary.
 Early today the captain Of the New Britain reported to the naval radio station here that the fire had been discovered in hold while 800 miles off the Georgia coast last night but that the flames had been con- trolled. If they again get beyoHd control, he planned to make for Savannah, but if they remained sub- dued he planned to proceed to Charleston.
 The message failed to disclose the origin of the fire, but said that the ship was carrying general cargo. a large portion of which was stored in the hold where the flames were centered, this accounting for the in tense heat.
 First news of the New Britain's plight came in an s o S. message at 6:30 o'clock last night. This was answered by the American freighters Byron D. Benson and Firmore, which were in the vicinity.
 The Firmore, fl miles away from the New Britain, reported that the fire appeared to be serious, as flames were visible above the hatches.
 The New Britain was making Il knots and the Firmore was putting On all steam and steering a course that would converse with that of the blazing vessel. The Firmore's captain reported that he would ac- company the New Britain to port, standing by to take off her crew if it became necessary to abandon ship.
 The New Britain carries a crew of 39 men. She was under charter to the Williams Line and was en route to San Francisco from New York. She was built in Arlington, \. Y. in 1919, has a net tonnage of 3,347, a gross tonnage of 5,26S, is 3S6 feet and has a beam of 52 feet.
