Destruction in Harbour Fire Inevitable.

Blyth (Northumberland), Dec. 0-

The total destruction by are of the old Canadian Pacife liner, the 25,000-ton Empress of Scotland, in which once the Prince of Wales travelled, is inevitable, following an outbreak which was discovered in the ship at Blyth early to-day,

Desperate attempts were made to prevent the flames reaching the oil fuel tanks, but late this afternoon those became involved, 290 tons of oil blazing up. Nearly every plate

on the port side of the ship was red-hot.

Several fire brigades and every available boat equipped with fire appliances fought the flames. The boats were marshalled into a long line 30 yards from the liner. the tide receded sand was drawn up from the river by the pumps,
