Ogg and a detachment of the Water Police were also early alongside an Felice launch, and were responsible For a good deal of salvage work.

Although fire was fierce it only burned the ship's coal, most of which was consumed, whilst the remainder was under water, the bunker having be flooded before the flames were final- y extinguished. There were 3,200 tons of coni in No. 3 coal bunker and 200 tons in No. 2. The extent of the dam- lage has not yet been ascertained but the cont in No. 2 hold was thoroughly wet.

The flooding of the bunker had the effect of giving the ship a slight list, and after the fire had been extinguished it took some time to pump the water Jout.

Other parts of the ship escaped dam- age, except places near the bunkern, where the water caused a certain

amount of damage.
