Fire Sweeps Ocean Liner
Fire which swept through the superstructure, badly damaged the motorship Bermuda while she was at her dock in Hamilton, Bermuda. The blaze started aft about 2:30 a.m., and after this fire had been extinguished, flames were discovered forward. The engine room was abandoned at 4:45 when the ship listed against the docks and the ship’s pumps no longer were operated.
英国3月ines and sailors were rushed to the dock to aid the firemen. With fixed bayonets the marines held the crowds from the dock. The boat partially sank, but after the fire was extinguished, the water was pumped out of the hold. It is the plan of the owners to tow the boat to Ireland where she will be reconditioned.
