After the liner "Deutschland" had had an uneventful voyage across the Atlantic, a sudden blaze broke out in the first-class galley. The fire raged about ten minutes before it was put out as the big liner docked at New York. Her passengers were entirely unaware of the accident and there- fore there was no panic. The heat from the blase was so intense that the iron sides of the shaft ignited partitions of adjoining cabins.
