Being awakened by the clanging hell, he sprang from hi bed and groped his way through the smoke to arouse his partner, John Palasler, second asslstantenglneer. Meeting Palasler about ntldwav, the two men liegan a search through the suiTocating smoke for others who slept in the tones. They were unable to discover any one and believing all had escaped, they crawled to the hurricane deck, from whence they climbed down on one of the stanchions tothe right side of the boat and escaped to ahore. a Two streams of water had been brought to play upon the Are, and the engineer
