and soon broke through to the second
class smoking room, spreading rapidly
to the first-claSS salon, the grand stair
case central hall and information bu-

The expensive interiors and luxurious
furnishings were badly damaged by the
blaze, which obtained good hold be-
fore the alarm was sounded. 1t was

another sailing before the close of the
Fall season.

come by smoke while fighting the
flames, but otherwise it was not be-
Ieved there were any casualties. All
available fremen were rushed to the
ship when the fire started, but they
succeeded only in keeping the blaze to
the central part of the ship.
- Hampered by Darkness.
They were greatly hampered by the
lack of light and the dense smoke
which filled every corner of the great
ship, which was gross tonnage Of
34,569, and is 1877 feet long. 1t was
built In 1921 and is in the regular

into the Bessengen as she was leaving
port and six of the Bessengen's crew
lost their lives. She was slightly dam
