THE VOLTURNO DISASTER.
THE COURT'S FINDING. Press Association—Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 18. The Court which inquired into the loss of the emigrant steamer Volturno, which was burned in mid-ocean, with heavy loss of life, found that the passengers behayed well, and that the officers and crew performed their duties bravely under exceptional difficulties. The Court praised the gallantry of the rescuers. So far as the origin of th#' fire was concerned, the Court found that it was possibly due to the escape of barium superoxide, which burst into flame.
