Every moment added to the danger of the situation. The heat was " most unbearable. The iron deck he- vame so hot that walking was like (tortum to the sailors. The sides of the vase! sizzled as the water dash- ed against them. Clouds of steam and smoke choked the sailors as they worked as best they could to keep the flames within hounds. Within 24 hours the heat and smoke spoiled all the provisions and left the crew scarce- lymz‘mything to eat. The cattle became frantic from the heat which assailed them between decks. Their wild lowing and bellow- ing continued night' and day, with no possible chance open to relieve their pain. When the ship listed many of the animals broke loose from their 12cm and plunged madly to and fro, some of them Ming lust overboard. The attempt to control the crazy animals would have been death to the men. There was nothing to be done until port was reached. The fire gained rapidly against the efforts of the crew, and finally reach- ed the fore compartment. Again the captain had holes: cut in the deck, and the steam and water were turnedinto the Fold. It. became necessary to flood the compartment as lefure, and the ship, listing to sturlmrd. was at. the mercy more than ever of the Latter.. ing waves. In spite of these measures the fire was not extinguished, hav- ing spread into other compartments. To flood them would have been the same as sinking the ship, owing to the heavy weather. Black clouds of smoke were curling out of the hatchways when the steam- er came into the harbor. The bellow- ing of cattle, mddened by pain and tright, came over the water as she neared her moorings. The ship had a list to starboard of nearly 20 de- grees, and showed in a dozen ways that she was in distress ot the most serious character. The paint was curling up in great blisters on her sides from the awful heat that raged within. COTTON BALES CATCH FIRE. l The Lemberts Point left Norfolk, va.,) ', on Sunday. with a cargo consigned for) lLiverpool. On Friday afternoon the‘ first sign of fire was discovered in the oompurtment amidships. which was filled with cotton holes. The rapidity with which the fire gained headwayj convinced Captain Humphreys that it: had been burning int least twenty-fourl hours. The location of the blaze andi the storm which tossed the vessel l about like a pork. made the work of fighting the uro doubly difficult. l Al any attempt to open the com-r pertinent and remove the burning cot-g ton would simply give new energy to', the blaze the captain ordered holes! cut in the celin flooring, and then; steam and water pipes were inserted; in tne openings. When it Lemme ap-i parent that steam would not smother tlm_fl:uncs a flood of water was _t(iii,:"ii,'1s'rr,-,] ed into the. compartment and the ves- sel “as headed for St. Johns, in the hope that it would be reached before too late. urea.
