MYSTERIOUS FIRE AT SUBMARINE BASE Several Thousand Dollars Damage Caused by Blaze in Thames River —Monitor Towed to Mid-Stream. New London, 11.—A fire of mysterious origin did several thousand dollars damage to the docks, coal pockets and storehouses at the New | United States Submarine base on the Thames river north of here late last | night. Officers in charge at the navy ard are reticent as to the details. The city fire department was sent to the fire and after a hard fight suc- | ceeded in preventing the blaze from | spreading. The monitor Tonopah tied up to dock hurriedly towed out in mid-stream, as it w | fearea that the flames might spread | to her. The repair ship Fulton and six | submarines are at the navy yard, but | they were not endangered. It is said by the firemen that three | unloaded torpedoes werc destroyed. | A number of loaded torpedoes were removed from a large shed soon after the fire was first discovered, the fire- men say. The blaze is said to have arted in a coal bin, and the firemen they believe that it was of incen- ry origin Tt is estimated today that the fire caused a damage of nearly $40,000, Tt | is generally believed that the fire started from an overheated coal | stove. Included in the loss are seven torpedoes, valued at from $4,000 to $7,000 each. Today a naval board of inquiry started an investigation for the purpose of ascertaining the ac- tual cause of the blaze and deciding the amount involved by the fire.
