CapJ? 1Q Warden, master of the steamer, noticed smoke issuing from the forepeak, and ho at once ordered water to ho thrown on the flames, which were soon quenched. It is thought _ that the fire was dne to a quantity of jute rope becoming ignited through spontaneous combustion. The outbreak was observed in time to prevent great loss, but a number of coils of wire suffered from the effects of the salt water winch was thrown on the flames. Othervase tho damage was not great. A general average of 1 per cent, has been declared.— ‘ Register.’ THE BUTESHIRE CARGO. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.
