BATTLESHIP ABLAZE IN MID-OCEAN.  Owing to the perfect organization of the crew of a thousand or more men on a superdreadnought, a fire at sea is not usually so serious as a landsman would imagine.  With the first alarm each individual on board becomes a fire-fighter, rushing to his post of duty.  Water compartments are closed and preparations are made for flooding the magazines if the flames threaten these store-rooms of destruction.
