Mr Lyanar, who is chairman of directors of tho Poverty i->ay Farmers' Meat Company, which firm own 3 tho steamer, mentioned that had tho ventilator plug hcon of pumice instead of cork the fire could nover have reached tho hold. Tho fact that the fire had only spread six or eight inches round the bottom of the- ventilator showed that the pumico had smothered it. Had it bosn of cork it would have gone on bximing. As it was, the fir© lent itself readily to be smothered out by sacks, otherwise water would have had to he used, with absolute destruction to half a hold of meat.
