The Australian and American Line’s steamer Kansas, with cargo of oil and motor cars, was 'discovered to be on fire at midnight on Saturday and burned until Sundav morning, when it was extinguished. " Shortly afterwards a fresh outbreak was discovered, which raged all day long. Holes were cut in the sides and deck of the vessel and many thousand tons of water were pumped into the vessel before the fire was controlled. The damage will be very extensive. '
