FIRE ON THE CORINTHIC.
FLAX CARGO DAMAGED
The Shaw, Savill and Albion liner Corintliic, berthed at the Glasgow Wharf, 'Wellington, was the scene of an outbreak of lire on Thursday morning. Smoke was seen issuing from No. I hold, and on iiuestigations being made it was found that a lire had occurred in the tlax and kauri gum, with which the hold was loaded. About thirty bales of llax were more or less seriously scorehed. A quantity of kauri gam was also destroyed, but it lias not yet been found possible to assess the value of this. Apart from the bnekling of iron work, caused by the intense heat, the Corintliic suffered no damage, and the company anticipates that she will be ready to sail for Southampton and. London, via Panama on Tuesday next.
