of Curtain•road, Shoreditch, were aroused by the springing

A few minutes afterwards an immense body of dames shot

flames speedily assumed a most fomidable appearance.
several engines soon arrived, and an abundant supply of
water having been procured they were forthwith set to
work, but the flames continued to rage, and the firemen
were unable to get the mastery over the conflagration until
the premises in which the disaster occurred were literally
gutted, the valuable stock in trade consumed, and serious
dames. done to the chapel and some of the surrounding
buildings by water and lire. Mr. Mahone was insured in
