EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.
For several hours last night a feartully destructive fire
raged on the hanks of the Thames at Dock-head, Ber-
mondsey. The scene of its havoc was in Mill-street, a
narrow confined thoroughfare, which pertly encircles
" Jacob's Island," a short distance from the Roman
Catholic convent, Bermondsey.
Its discovery was made shortly after ten o'clock. Some
shipwrights who were passing along Mill-street observed
a glare of light in the land-side premises or warehouses
belonging to Messrs. Owst and Co., hoop-handers, and
they had scarcely time to acquaint the police of the fact
before the place burst into. flames. Ere fifteen minutes
had transpired the flames bad attacktd the waterside and
opposite premises. Thousands were attracted to the
spot, and the entire neighbourhood was filled with an
enormous mob. Most of the engines connected with the
Brigade reached the fire in the course of a quarter of an
hour after the alarm had hem given, but the firemen
were unable to put them into operation for the went of a
supply of water. None was to be had from the
mill-dam, on account of the tide being out,
and unfortunately the only plug that could be dis-
covered in the neighbourhood was some 400 or 500 feet
from the fire. One of the large floating engines of the
Brigade was as soon as possible brought from its station
off Rotherhithe, which proved very efficient. Mean-
while the destructive element swept everything within
its range. Of Messrs. OwE's premises very little were
standing. Both the land-side and waterside warehouses
were almost in ruins. Next to these stood the ware-
houses of Mr. Brindley, sailmaker, as also that of
Messrs. W. and J. Heywood, boat builders; these sub-
sequently shared a similar fate. The fire spread to some
half a dozen other premises that adjoined, and among
them the extensive granary of Mr. Burton, granary-
keeper. Additional aid having arrivQd the engines
were supplied with water pumped in by others
placed at the plugs in the adjoining locali-
ties. With this supply the firemen, after consider-
able exertion, prevented the fire making further pro-
gress on the land side. It was not so, however, at the
water side. Three fine schooners, lying alongside cf
the burning wharves, had ignited, and being aground it
wasimpossible to extricate them. All the shipping
lying in the river near the fire sent their crews to assist
the firemen in their efforts to preserve the vEsJels, but
eventually the ships were enveloped in the general con-
flagration. It was twelve o'clock before the fire was
finally checked. The engines were kept working till
nearly six o'clock this morning, at which hour consider-
able fire remained beneath the ruins, which occupy a
large space. How the fire was occasioned it is at pre-
sent impossible to say.
