aster was at once forwarded to the various brigade 'tattoos.

rate effort to suppress the fire, trefortunately, however,
all their exertions were of little era% and the flames made
terrible progress.

the Southwark and Rotherhiths stations were got to work
in front of the blazing wharf, end threw an Immense body
of water on to the building, while the steam lied engieen
