there were betides about eighteen country kips of bur-

called the Limehoufe or Donde! Cut, bung an ar-

the contiguous edifices. Two barges afloat, the one,
laden, the other empty, were burnt to the water's
edge : I pleafitre boat; by the aOivity of the popit-

wind fuddenly turned to the onrth-eaft, the illacious
firueure of the diflillery of Meffrs. Hatch and Co.

involved in the common calamity. For nearly two
