FIRE ON MARAMA
OIL IN STOKEHOLD
BLAZE QUICKLY
SUPPRESSED
A fire broke out in the stokehold of the Marama just before 8 a.m. to-day. The Marama- had arrived from Sydney, and when she was berthed at No. 1 south, Queen's Wharf, the oil fuel in the stokehold caught alight. . The supplies of oil fuel were quickly cut off, and the oil, which was ablaze, although it gave off clouds of smoke, did not threaten to spread. The fire was quickly brought under control with tho ship's fire-fighting appliances. Two fire engines were summoned, but when they arrived the fire was practically out. No damage was done. ' '
