FIRE ON A STEAMER.
OUTBREAK OK A GERMAN VESSEL. By TriW&ph.—Press Assn.— London, Dee. 15. A serious fire occurred late to-night in the cargo on board the steamer Boonah which was lying at the Albert docks. The outbreak started among the war material and captured German aeroplanes and all were burning strongly at at midnight. The vessel was due to proceed to Hull to-day. Recent outbreaks on former German liners, as for example the Swakopmund and Hubertus, as well as the former German raider De Kalb, in America, and the Cape Verde in the Thames last week, while loading for Australia, are causing suspicion of organised incendiarism.
