As tho boatswain entered the hold, he saw that several cases of mineral water had broken, and that the water was swishing about in the hold. Then suddenly he saw one of the wooden cases marked "sodium" burst into flame. Immediately he gave the alarm, and the crew rushed to their fire stations. ~"he captain directed the men to play the hose into the hold. As the first stream of water struck the burning case, there were several explosions, as package after pack- age within the case caught fire. By this time two other cases of sodium had broken open, and their con- tents, as they came in contact with the water from the hose, burst into flames. The crew could not believe their eyes. The more water they poured on the fire, the more intense grew the conflagration. Then suddenly two cases flew into the air, crashed against the overhead beams, and spread out in sheets of fire, the smaller pierces dropping back only to bounce and danoo about, hot balls of flame, in the half-swamped hold. Panic-stricken, the crew dropped the hose lines and fled above decks. But the captain ordered the cargo flung into the sea, and led his men back into the hold. They succeed- ed in throwing several of the cases overboard. But as each case hit the waves, it rebounded into the air, o flaming ball. The superstitious crew was fast becoming unmanageable, and the captain eaw that, in any case, he must abandon the ship. He order- ed the crew to the boats not one moment too soon, for as the boats rowed away from the blazing hulk, and caesium. All of these element* have the samo characteristics op (widium in greater or less degree. The sodium should have been ship* ped in hermetically sealed tin cans enclosed in wooden cases.
