T Aitkin Connoll, who was on board at tta critical F3"od. describes tho scene !d its accompanying mishaps as follows : j, Ural accounts ot tho liro which «™rred on Sunday morning on the ?.?. Sahavo appeared in tho OUbone IZ which aro altogether Inaccu- Sf'md calculated to mfateu, I Zk it may perhaps bo well to It a plain statoment of tho occiii-ronce to myself, and as I have been t btalby careful inquiry to establish to , I own satisfaction what really happened Then personal knowlodgo and observation jrero defectivo.

Origin of the I'ivc. The fire originated in a small room known «the boot room, in which boots and knives and lamps trimmed. In this nm there was kopt a drum of kerosene oil, which holds, when full", about 4 gallons, and , storing lamp (fed with kerosene oil) jjato there hung. The steward, who acts M boots, also fills the oflico of night-watch nan born 11 p-m- to 5 a.m., mid was on ea^ed probably till about 3 a.m in cleaning li'knivos and boots. At about that hour liß the boot room, with tho lamp still taring- Proceeded to the chief steward's cibin, which hocleaned out, and thereafter tent from the'tween decks up to tho main deck,forward to the smoking-room, which tewaaengaged in cleaning out when tho fa broke"out. Thoro can bo very littlo doubt but that the liro originated from tho tain thp boot-room. It was probably left turned up too high, an I in cousequonco olheating tho keroaono in it took liro, broke tlojlass, and ran about, setting liro to tho tone in the drum.

Tbfl Alarm,

Ike second steward, whose room is only irided from tho boot-rsom by a urn* passage, was tho first person n board to discover tho liro. Ho im mediately rushed up the aftor companion lad gavo tho alarm on deck, then (hinted down tho skylights on both iiesof the ship, "Fire, fire," but found it impotable, after the lapse of tho few seconds b had been on deck, to get back to his akin, He then went down tho main com panion and alarmed the ladies, who were ilso being then roused by the cries of tho dist stewardess, Accident. Both tie stewardesses and one lady and a littleboy were sleeping aft of tho cross pas sig», which leads from one sido of tho I ship to the other past tho boot ime All those ladies excepting the Hand stewardess escaped past the cros-* image before tho flames had taken sorious bid, kt tho second stewardess, who timed bad to see that tho children wero aUout of the nursery, was severely burnt 'fflrjsliijpast tho passage down which in arßj/eiieconds the flames wore pouring. Narrow Escapes. Iwasmyself sleeping in a berth on the ftaiboard ride of the ship, IS feet from lie boot room, and had only timo toescspe with somewhat scanty clothing. Soiipid was tho spread of tho firo, and so fae the volunioa of smoko which filled lilt partj of the 'tween decks, that my of the ladies had no timo to »re other covering than their night fcsSi ilthough fortunately a plontiful apply of blankets from tho forward part Weitip was soon obtained. The ladies TOB conducted up etair3 to the ladies' aiioon the main deck, and, subsequently, riffl there appeared serious danger of the »'»setting altogether tho upper hand, to "Captain's cabin and hurricane deck.

Morts to Subduo tho Firo,

Miinavery few minutes after the firo Wo out (about 4 a.m ), the various firo W «ere all at their posts with rolays of wketa and lire hoso at work, and TO discipline was maintained through- Jt In a short time it became apparent the firo had taken a serious hold. "4 tween docks was opposite the boot *, all blazing with liquid kero.=ono, and *teme volumea of smoko woro pouring at ofevery Bk} light and ventilator, in a •ntune followed by flames fo strong and JPUtoiot the hurricane dock on h'ro.but "tta hoße could always pluy upon "«deck it was merely badly charred.

I forget which.

I went mysolf in the fourth boat, and was overlooking the gangway tho whole time tho first three boats woro being filled, and I am quito suro that the conduct of all the passongers was most creditable to them. Good Discipline on Board. At this time as I havo said tho liro wa3 at its vory worst, and nono of us imagined that there was any chanco of saving tho ship. Ono or two of the hands of the (ire gangs showod symptoms of loaving their posts, but wero sternly ordered back by Captain Chatliold who remained cool as a ciicumbor tho whole of tho time, Just as wo loft tho ship, ono of the crow, a iirornau, brokoin tho aftor spirit-room, but tho cap tain sont ono of tho stowards alt with a largo hammor and orders to break in pieces cvory vessel containing spirits, which ordor was carried out and probably saved the ship. Meantime tho wholo of tho condition under which tho work of ondoavouring to subdue tho iiro had hitherto beon carried on, woro changed by tho fact of the vessel being no longer undor way. It had boen found impossible, on account of tho imrnonso volumes of thick smoko which filled tho 'tween docks, to got a hoso man stationed on that deck in a position to command tho iiro with offect. The Vessel Safe. Now, howovor, tho idea occurcd to broak in tho (load lights, and play tho hoso upon tho burning mass from tho outsido throuuh the port-holes. As soon as tho happy thought was givon effect to, tho difforonco became at onco apparent, and in somothing undor an hour, trom tho time tho passen gers loft tho «hip, tho liro was so effectually got under that it bocamo apparent that all dangor was o\cr. Tho passengers woro distributed through out tho various hotols in Cisborno, but it being found that tho ship was uninjuied in any important degrco as regards her hull and machinery, it was docidod to bring tho passengers on to Auckland.

Tho highost credit is duo to tho staff of cooks and stewards who havo mado very groat and successful efforts to onsuro tho comfort of tho passongora, under circum stances which havo unquestionably boon of tho tnost trying kind, and havo involved tliom in a largo amount of oxtra labour, and con3idorablo inconvenience.

In conclusion, I may say that whilst a vory sorions mishap has unquestion ably taken placo, wo may all woll be thankful that it has been no worse I myself, with somo dozen others whoso berths woro cntiroly burnt, havo lost nearly tho whole of our baggago and some valuable.", but no lives havo beon lost.

Had it not boon for tho apparently 1 rilling fact that tho ship had a list to starboard, and so tho liroy'curront of blazing kerosotie catno into tho starboard tide of tho ship, certainly a largo number of tho ladios would havo boon dreadfully burnt, and somo of them in all probability would have lost their lives. Had tho morning not also boon calm and line, or had wo been ton miles furthor from our anchorage, 1 doubt much whether cither tho ship or passongora could havo been saved, The Cargo Uninjured. Tho cargo is quito uninjured, tho water having been kept apart from it by bulk hoads. Individual Losses. From various sources wo learn that tho individual losses of passengers aro excep tionally hoavy. Most of the occupants of tho ladies' cabin lo^t their clothing and other elleuta. Father Ahcrn is a loser to tho oxlent of £120 ; Mr Connoll, of Council and Moody, Dunedin, Managing Director of 1 ho Mutual Trustees' Association, lost all his clothes, somo monoy, and somo valuablo deeds. Mr Elrig, commercial traveller for Lightband, Allan, and Co., tanner?, of Christchurch, last clothing, samples, and a valuable gold watch. Timorous Passcnsors. All tho through passongorn for Auckland and Sydney have come on hero in tho vessel, with the exception of Mrs Allison, Mrs Colo maiij nurse, and children. Mrs Allison is paralytic, and was carried on board at Lyttelton, tho shock caused by tho tiro in her precarious state of health necessitated her being left behind at (Jisborro, Another Accident. Mr A. .1. Cadtnan, M.JI.K., from Napier, was in bed when tho alarm was given, tho tire having brokon out at 4.15 a.m. My cabin was in tho forward paitof tho saloon. I heard tho ladies calling out that tho ship was on firo ; ran out on deck and found tho crow already at work. The saloon was full of fmoko whon I camo out, but no ilamcs could bo soon. From the first the Captain did not consider tho vessel in groat danger, and ho acted with great coolness. Indeed, I may say I was sur prised at tho admirable coolness of all the officers, stewards, and crow. Many of the stewards suffered severely in tho oyea whilo passing buckets of water down. Tlicro was gomo little consternation amongst tho ladies, but the fact that the boats wero out and in good order, wont greatly to allay thoir fears. Ono lady—an invalid-sus tained a shock to her system, and was un able to come up from Gisbomo. Another lady passengor alao remained at Cisborno. Anothor Passenger's Statcmont Thomas Kompton, saloon passenger, states : I was awake whci\ the alurm of lire was given, but at first thought it was a joke. llowevor, hearing a woman call out " Oh, my God ; what shall wo do :" I jiuupod out of bod, and at onco woko threo other pas sengers who slept in tho samo berth, ! rushod into tho saloon with my trousers in my hand. My three companions only escaping with their night shirt, Although daylight had broken, it was perfectly dark through tho thickness of tho smoko, Ono of my fellow-passongers was so stupilied with tho emoke that I had to drag him out of bod. On reaching tho dock I saw tho (lames fully six foet high rising through the skylight?, and also bursting through tho port-holes. Moitof tho women and children woro already on deck. Everything was most orderly, tho -women, though frightened, making no commotion. 1 consider that great credit U duo to tho captain, ollicors, steward, and crew, who worked like demon?, some of tho latter being drenched with water, and black with smoke. When wo reached Oisborne, n launch which had come oil with shoop towed tho boats ashore Many of tho pas sengers walked barefoot from tho landing placo to tho hotel. Mrs Alison, a para lysed passenger, was carried out of the burning ladies' cabin by six of tho passen gers.

Other Details,

Mra Boardman, a saloon passongor, being overpowered with tho smoke, fell throo times whilo endeavouring to oscapo from tho ladies' cabin, and was carried out by tho second ollicor. All tho passengers speak highly of tho conduct of Captain ChatticW, and tlioy gave expression to their feeling of "ratitudo°by presenting an addrosa to ' him. A subscription was mado, and money testimonials presented to both tho steward esses. Extent of tho Damago. So far a3 external appearance goes, the vessel doeo not sooin to have sustainod any serious damage, but a visit below impresses tho spectator with a sonso of tho ex treme injury that has been caused by tho liro. Tho rooms occupied by the following porsons havo boon completely: destroyed :-Stanloy and Son, Connoll and Martin, Fordham, Bullock, lathor Ahearn, Kempton, Hill, Elrig, Captain Rowan, Mrs Keono and eon, Mra Coates, Mrs Muhoncy, Mrs Martin, Miss Martin, Miss Kobel, tho Misses Bodman, Miss Groy. Mrs Arundol, and 2 children. Othor apartments totally destroyed woro the boot room and tho adjoining stair loading to tho upper deck, linen closot and second steward's rooia, and bathroom. The only cabin that escaped v/as one occupied by Mrs Coleman, family, and servant, which immediately adjoins the E-loon. Tho ladies'cabin was only partly destroyed. Tho engine-room, stokeholo, spirit-room, and the main companion staua and saloon ateo escaped damago.
