SHIP ON FIRE
CREW’S THRILLING ESCAPE.
(Times Gables.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.)
HONG KONG, August 24
The British passenger steamer Suitai arrived from Macao afire. Half an hour after hundreds of passengers had disembarked, gasolene cargo caused the flames to spread with alarming rapidity soon enveloping the whole ship, which was reduced to a burnt-out hulk.
There were thrilling escapes, the officers and crew jumping on to the wharf, which was also badly afire. There were no serious casualties.
