FIRE IN SHIP. ~ [By Telegraph—Press Association.] Dunedin, last night. The fire in the hold of the Stratbgryffe broke out again yesterday in a slight degree, but was soon extinguished, and the work of breaking out the cargo was continued. This forenoon the work in the after hatch had to be temporarily suspended, the fumes from the burning wool being so pungent that the stevedores could not work. 1 Three of them were so prostrated that they had to be hoisted on deck in baskets. "Wind sails were rigged up, and after dinner work was resumed. A GOOD WASH-UP.
