London. December 15
A serious fire Occurred late tonight in the cargo aboard the steamer IWonah lying at Albert Docks. The outbreak started among war material and captured German aeroplanes and. was burning strongly at midnight. The vessel was due to proceed to Hull to-day.
Recent outbreaks on former German liners, as for example the Swakoprnund 1 , Hubertus, as well as the former German raider De Kalb’in America and the Cape Verdi in the Thames last week while loading for Australia, are attracting suspicion on organised incendiarism.
