Brave death at Mayflower blaze warns sailors on patrol
A fire in a powder magazine at the United States navy yard near the Mayflower threatened two tons of black powder and signal rockets. Lieut Reed led a party of bluejackets into the burning store to remove explosives, aided by Chief Belt and others. Firefighters fought flames as the ship and wharf faced danger, with the crew showing discipline and risking exposure to smoke and heat. Officials attributed the blaze to spontaneous chemical heating and praised the sailors for preventing a larger disaster.
