Mr. Sims, the landlord, let out feveral of his apart-
ments to lodgers, and nearly [bitty perfons flept on
the premifes every night. His own family confined
of .a wife, a daughter, two lons, and his wife's lifter;
the latter sated in the capacity of nude to Mrs. Sims,
who for tome time had been confined to her bed, and
was in the lag Rage of a confumption: Tbeflre was
fuppofed to have originated in the cellar; tor vaults,

flames burg from the bar, which he fuppofed' had
forced their way through the floor. Greatly agitated,
he battened up Rairs, produced a wet blanket, and
immediately repaired to the bar, in the hope of being
able to extinguith the fire; but he found it had made
too Treat progrefs to be overcome by his efforts.—
Feeling for the fituation of his family, and the poor
lodgers at a diltant part of the houfe, he called as
loud as he was able, 44 Fire ! fire 1" and wrapping
a blanket round his helplefs wife, with great diffi-
culty refcued her from the flames. In the height of
his agitation he could find no better place to depatit
her on than a butcher's block. Having left her, and
returned to his hide, he found it entirely enveloped
in the flames, and fuppofing the greatett part of his

He was foon relieved with refpea to his daughter and
filler in law, finding they had both efcaped by leap-

and though fomewhat bruifed, were in no danger of
their lives. As for his two boys, he gave them up
for loft. It fortunately, however, happened,- that',
they both had efcaped through a trapdoor at the top
of the houfe to fume of the adjoining honks, which
road they were well acquainted with, having often
frequented it for their amufements. The relation the
boys gave of the fcene of horror and confufion
which took place amongfl the lodgers is truly dif-

mates to follow them, and they would ennclua them
to a place of •fafety, but none of them would take
their advice. Two perfons leaped out of the higher
windows, after being•feverely burnt, and' were nearly
killed on the (pot. One of thefe unfortunate perfons,
a plumber, was taken to St. Thomas's Hofpital, and
