THRILLING SEA STORY.

HOW THE WILSON LINER DOURO HELPED THE MILOS,

The British steamer Douro, which attempted to take in tow the blazing German steamer Milos of the Deutsche Levant Ling, off Ushant (making four unsuccessful attempts to get the German under way) arrived at the London Decks on:unday night (Dec, 8},

She brought with ber the chief officer of the Milos, en badly burned on the hands and ärms that he was taken at once to the Seaman's

"BURNING FIERCELY.

The captain of the Douro went as per the blax ng steamer as he dared, for a very bad sea was running.

"She was burning furiously from No, a hold," an eye-witness told the "Morning Leader" re presentative. She was head to wind, and we saw the flames fairly eat up the bridge, and pour alt over it. The heat of the fire, driven

by the wind, sent the men into the stern of her, "We could see that swa, boats, full of men, had pushed away from the Milos, but as we had already driven in too close, for the seas; were taking charge, we went ahead, and, camo, back to take up a better position. We were only away a few minutes, but when we got hear again, one of the boats having twelve men aboard, had disappeared.” **
