As the ben zine drums burst and their contents poured out the ship seemed to be literally spouting fire, for the flames streamed out of every porthole and in this manner the Netherton burned away for three days.
THE CHIEF OFFICER'S HEROISM, When Captain Greenlees.mustered his men ashore he found that one of the European crew, a German, was missing. Inquities amongst the

Despite the fact that the after part of the ship contained over 6,000 drums of benzine which had not yet been", touched by the fire but which might go up any. moment, the chief officer boarded the Nether lon by one of the bow mooring ropes. He then rushed through the smoke and fumes of the blazing spirit into the fo'cèle, Here he found the man he had come to save sleeping as peacefully as a child, all unconscious of the flames raging not half a score yards away. How the sleeper cams to sleep through both explosions is marvellous and when Mr. Rennie wakened him, his agitation was very great at Ending himself cut off from the shore by a sheet of fire.

AN AWESOME SIGHT, The Netherton was left burning alongside till six o'clock on the evening of the day of the outbreak and then at this hour the mooring ropes were cal and she was towed out into the stream and anchored. That night the scene. of the helpless ship blazing away and the dull roar of the flames was a grand and fearful.one Benzine burns with a brownish red flame and this, lighting up the surrounding water, gave her the appearance of a ship floating on a sea of blood. All night long the drums could be heard 'bursting amidst the sullen roar of the flames; and towards morning the ship's sides and steel foremast grew white hot from the great heat. and the water alongside began to bubble and bail. The next day the sheet of fire seemed to bave gained in volume and those on shore saw the steel must slowly begin to bend over like a melting wax candle slowly it dropped till it lay | doubled, upon the deck.
