At about 11 o’clock last night a fire was discovered on the Northern Steamship Company’s steamer Ngapuhi, in Calliope dock, shortly after a blacksmith's employee had left the vessel. The stewards’ quarters and tlio steerage cabin were burnt out, and the icmaincler of the after portion of the vessel was more or leas damaged. Good work by naval men probably saved the vessel from total destruction.
