All that time, the lighthouse keeper, horn the light on the North Beef, bad been standing off tin l vessel ami calling to them. By the time they reached the rescuing boat the Cooma was afire from stem to stern. The outbreak is thought to have been due to spontaneous combustion in the rotting cargo in one of the after holds, or to have been caused by lightning, of which there were frequent flashes.
