When the outbreak occurred the Ayrshiro, then known as transport A. 33, "was on her way from Melbourne , to the United Kingdom, via Panama, and was carrying a valuable cargo of flour, frozen meat, and. general merchandise. When within three days' steaming of Newport Newß, U.S.A., the cargo in the lower compartment of No. 3 hold was found to bo well: alight, membere ■of tho crew donned-smoke-helmets and descended into the hold, but owing to the difficulty in fighting the outbreak at close quarters, their eflorta to subduo the flames were fruitless. ". Tho large steamer was sent, at full speed for Halifax. When tho burning 'hold was flooded'it was found that the damage was considerable. The insulated chambers for the carriage of frozen cargo were ruined, and new fittings had to bo installed. A large amount of cargo was destroyed. ' ■ ■ . Ecsuraing her voyage to Great Britain, the Ayrshire had another excitine experience, being attacked' by a submarine off tho Irish coast while steaming in a convoy of 42 vessels.. She eluded the U-boat, whioh was destroyed by means of depth charges dropped by destroyers.
