An announcement to this eflect was made late this afternoon af- ter Alan Cumyn, ship inspector for the Federal Department of Transport, pronounced the vessel saaworthy. Repairs can be made without. putting the Helene into drydock and without further in- terruption of service after tomor- TOW. Damage was estimated roughly at $40,000. Three of 28 automobiles in the hold were burned. in ad- dition to fire, water and smoke damage to a l06-ton general car- go. A complete survey of the ves- sel and plans for the necessary minor repairs will be made to- morrow after Canadian Pacific Steamship experts arrive from Montreal. Passengers were re-routed to Nova Scotia on the Canadian Na- tional Railways line via Moncton. N. B. - The two-alarm fire started about (1.40 a.m.. approximately two hours before the scheduled sailing time for Digby. C. P. R. officials said it possibly broke out when a bale of cotton struck an electric light fixture, which was smashed de- spite a guarding device. Many oi the 5i passengers who had spent the night aboard were isioaplnrbut they flied off in an orderly manner and no one was injured. Some did not take time to dress fully. Firemen poured tons of water into the hold, causing the vessel to list sharply at her dock for a time. Two tugs were ready to pull the Helene away from the wharf if such action became nec- essary. On the Saint John-Dlgby run for 2'! years, the Princess Helene is the main water transportation link between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. TO RAID SACRED MOUNTAIN TOKYO.
