A Barque on Fire.
Sydney, April 6. The barque Dunloe, which arrived from Lyttelton five weeks ago, took fire at two o'clock this morning. The vessel was being dismantled, and only a caretaker was aboard. The riding lamp fell from the forestay, and set fire to a quantity of loose timber. The fire did a good deal of damage before being extinguished. The caretaker narrowly escaped death, being rescued from his bunk in the nick of time by sailors from a neighbouring ship.
