DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WAPPING.
Yesterday morning, about a quarter to one o'clock,
as a policeman was walking his beat in Great Hermit-
age-street, Wapping, he discovered that the premises,
No. 11, Crown-court, leading out of that street, were on
fire. The premises in question are a double house, with
one front door, but two staircases, and were let like two
separate houses, the front portion, containing four rooms
over each other, to Mr. James Stiff, and the back to Mr.
James Cander. The fire broke out in the front parlour,
and rapidly ascended the front staircase to the second
floor, where Mr. Stiff's family were in bed. The first
act of the policeman was to arouse the inmates and to
help the family of Mr. Stiff down the staircase of Mr.
Cander's house, and a messenger having been dis-
patched to Wellclose•square and other stations, several
engines of the brigade, as well as the West of Eng-
land engine and a private engine from the neighbour-
hood, wero promptly on the spot. The fire, however,
had by this time.such a firm hold of the building, which,
although a double house, was merely run up with lathe
and plaster, that it was impossible to save the front of
it, which was entirely burned out, and the latter portion,
although not completely destroyed, is rendered quite un-
tenantable. The house, No. 8, Great Hermitage-street,
in the occupation of T. J. Norrie, the back part of which
comes within a few yards of the premises in which the
fire originated, was at one time in considerable danger
of being destroyed, tho window frame of the back room
second flJor being on fire; the indefatigable exertions of
the firemen, however, in an almost miraculous manner,
prevented the flames from extending, although consider-
kble damage was done to this house and the furniture by
water and removal.
