THE FIRE ON THE STEAMER WAIRARAPA.

» ■ ' ■ Mr J. Aitketi Coniwll, ofDunedin, ; supplies tlip fr.Dowring int' tei tii.' aficotmt of the Hie on the Wairor.tpa to the Auckland >'/»r;— • As several accounts of the fire whi< h occurred on Sunday morning on the W.iirarapa have appeared in the Gi^'iorne papers, whirh arp altogether in n-cnrate and calculated to miglead, I think it may perhaps be well to give n plain statement of the occurrence as it appeared to myself, arid as I have '•poii ennhlftd Wy ca^fn' enquiry to pstnblish to my own satisfaction w' m i-oally Jinpnei h«1 whon personal know lod«»e and reservation wefe defective, fhe fire originated in a small room, known as the hoot room, in which loots and knives were cleaned and amps trimmed. In this room tlure vas kept a drum of kerosene oil, vhich holds when full ahout four faHo'is, and a swing lamp (fed with H?r<»seiK» oil) ia also hunj» there. The r.eward who ituts ;is (>oo'B also fills the •ffic»- ->f nijjht watohman from 11 p.m. o 5 a.ra. and was engaged probably

Tlie. second steward, whose roo-n is only ilivi I i fi »ra the boot room by a narrow passage, was the first person on l -oa ,1 to discover the fire. He immediately rushed up tlit after companion, and gave the alarm on deck, and then shouted down the skylights on l>oth sides of thp ship " Fire, fire," *>v* found it impossible, after the ia;>se of the few seconds he had be**n on d>-ck, to get buck to his cabin. He tiio-i went down the main companion, and alarmed- th»- ladies, who were auo b-ing roused by th cries of th > ehi»»f stewardess. Bo* h stewardesses a d one lady and a little. t»oy were sleepier aft of the cross passage, which lead-* from one side of the ship to the other, p»st the boot room. All the** 1.-idvs escaped alons; th»» passage '» foe the flunks had t ike i serious huM, ut the second stewardess, who turiieil back to see that the children were all out of the nursery, was.severeiv burnt in rus!i ing past the passage, down wlii.-li in a yi*ry few seconds the flames W"re pouring I was myself sleepin^ ii a i»erth on the staibo ird sid« of h > -h ». 18ft fr >ni the bo troom.and had on y time to escape with somewhat scanty clothing. So rapid was the spread of the fire, and s> dense the volnm-F of some which ti led that part of tlic 'iween decks that many ladies luvl no time, to secure other covering than their nightdresses. Foitnn.-ttely •■» plentiful supply of bUukets from the forward part of the ship was s<v.;> obtained. The WKps wi re coxdnct'--! upstairs to the ladies' caMn on the main deck, and subsequently, when there appeared serious danger of thf> fire getting uUogeHier the np|wr hand, to the captain's ca'»in and hiirii'Uie deck Within very f.-w mi utesuf i-r the fire broke ont (4 a.n».) various fie gangs were all at their posts with relays of Uickrtx and fi;e hose at work, and perfect discipline was main ruined throughout.

At four o'clock tinship wasa'»')»i'. 20 miles from Gisborne. The morning was fine, with a very slight breeze ai»p<nl, which, however, freshened considerably '<efo! # c we got to Gisb »me, but again fell innuednt.ely the fire was dscoveied. T\u captain ordered the ship to l»e. p^it ;«' top spetnl ahead, with a \iew, ij possible, of reaching the aitchoragf at Gisborne. The fire was raging at its worst but separated by the iron walls of the engine room from that important compartment These iron walls in several places became red hot, and the engine room was tilled with h large quantity of smoke. The atmosphere was stifling from that cause and tJie intense heat, but tiie engineers stnek firmly to their j.osts. The second engineer, I btlieve, remained b> low at the engines the whole time of the fite, but about five minuhs before we reached Gistariie he sent ur word he would lie compelled to comt on deck in a very short time. ThifiitittiHtion was convoyed to the captain, who Rent back word to say thitil comp -llpd to !• aye the engines were to be left at full speed, and that when b< wanted them stopped he would l>ring the ship up s-» as to send the smoke clear of 'h' 1 engintwooin, when th» \ fimst ci e'eavour to run down and stop the iMigiu-8. M antinie the place of anchorage was reached, and a signal given to BfopB f op the engines. This was done by the second engineer, and the engines were also duly reverse*!, stopped, and all necessary valves at. tended to to ensure the saf-ty of th ship. The command to let go anchor was given, but as the ship had a little more way on than was usual sone of the cable was injured by the strai when the anchor took the ground. About half an hour after the outbreak of the ttre, tlie second offi.-er whs ordered to got all the boats cleared and ready to lower, which was done in perfect order. As soon as the anchorage was reached, the Honks were ordered to l»e lowered, and th' ladies were led to the gangway and saft-lv placed in the first boat. No confusion or panic of any kind whatever to<»k place among tlie passenger*. Bo far, from it being correct that there! was any rush either for the first or ay of the other boats, as appeared in the Gishrv.ie paper, I saw a iiinn'»»-r of Indies still standing or. the !hip i>an< deck after a number had gonf to t!v gangway, and I went up mys-'f to persuade them to go in the boat, and Can i-d a little girl to the gangway. When doing so I heard the ctptafn Ring ont to hu -rv up the ladies or ho».f up the ladies. I forget which. I went myself in the fon. '.hboat, and was overlooking the g mgway the whole time the tirst tliree boats were Wing tilled, aud I am quite sure that (Ue vouduvt uiull
