FIRE AT SEA
OUTBREAK ON ANCONA. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 1. Fire broke out in the linen store, on the Ancona in mid-Atlantic during .a gale of 60 miles an hour. The danger was great, as only a single bulkhead separated the linen store from the oil fuel store. It was doubtful if the boats could-be launched in the heavy seas. It took 100 members of the crew eight hours to control the outbreak.— A. and N.Z. Cable. [The Ancona is a steel screw steamer of 5465 tops gross register. She was formerly known as the Barcelona, ex the Arabia. She was built in 1896 by Harland and Wolff (Ltd.), Belfast, for the Italian Government] -
