the Coast Guard reported today.
The bare announcement received
from the Alaska harbor gave no
details as to the extent of dam
age. It said only that a “temper
ature check” was being maintained
to make certain the blaze did not
break out again.
The fire was believed to have
been confined to the wheat cargo.
A Coast Guard radio report said
the temperature check would be
for 12 hours before returning the
wheat to the hold, and battening
down for sea. The message was an
indication the ship would resume
its voyage. There was no report
of damage to the ship itself.
The vessel left Seattle last Wed
nesday for Shanghai. It put into
Dutch Harbor Tuesday after crew
members fought the smouldering
blaze in a grain-laden hold with
out bringing it under control.
