FI:tE ON BOARD A SHIP IN THE BRUNSWICIC Dorn
Great alarm prevailed yesterday forenoon about the Bran';
wick dock and that locality, consequent on a fire bari°s
been discovered, at an early hour in the morning,on ben`fo,
a large barque called the Themis, lately arrived here fr°,;"
Savannah, with a full cargo of cotton. The vessel is ah°t,
80D tons burthen, and was lying on the west side of ,h
dock; and about a quarter past five yesterday moron:,
police officer Burke, No. 157, who was on duty at the ,
discovered smoke issuing from the ship, and 'here coal"
ts
no doubt that a fire had broke out on board. The alarm
giien, and some officers from the south-dock station, wil"ted
I number of civilians, went on board, and immediately ado!,;‘,-(1
measures to suppress the fire. A messenger was despatc",;(l
to Hatton-garden for Mr. Hewitt and the fire-bridgade,,,ll
he, with his efficient staff, engine, reels, erc., were immedir'te ,
on the spet. The West of England engine was also in 'elhe-e
tendanee along with the firemen. Buckets and reels froin,'„o
south-dock station had previously arrived, and three P,lfre
had been introduced into the place, supposed to be wile.s
the fire was, and a copious stream of water poured e'r;
I Still the smoke increased, and a large number of men work
at once set to work to discharge the cargo, and the es
went on rapidly, and with success. When the engino,o
arrived, three additional branches were introduced into:;
ship, and, although there was a copious supply of ica`ci;
the smoke still showed indications that the fire was not 1-
clued, and much alarm prevailed, as it was feared the Pc:
would break out, and communicate with the adjoining 'vet
in the dock, Mr. Hewitt ordered the deck over the Or,
posed seat of the fire to be cut away, and a dense volnl°d
of water poured into the place. By 'this time the dock Or
harbour-masters, Major Greig, Captain Falkner, and °th;en
officials had arrived, and at half-past nine o'clock the
wes got into the south side of the adjoining basin, Where
the engines and reels worked well, but still it was late
the afternoon before the fire was completely got under.
1,1
considerable quantity of the cotton was got on shore, 111°b9
or less damaged, and whateven remains on board will
quite saturated with water: The damage dune eannotbeat
e
present ascertained, nor could we learn anything of th
insurance. The vessel was consigned to Mears. Cetibronge,
Beyd and Co., South Castle-street. Mr. Garners, the bar;
bour-master, Major Greig, Superintendents Quick, Wanteoe.
O'Brien, Inspectors Scott, Southwell, and a large body_
the police, were in attendance, and rendered considerable
assistance ; and as for the exertions of Mr. Hewitt and .ii
.
men, they were, as usual, most praisewor*y. 'f he orreT
of the fire is at present unknown, and very likely
remain so. The vessel, towards the evening. heeled ;e_re
on the larboard side, and grounded, but all danger b 7
pissed. When the remainder of the cargo shall letve bee,„
removed, the ship will be put on one of the griditess,
ascertain the damage done to her.
