CAUSE OF TIE GREAT FIRE At THE LONDON
Dock Explosion of 1000 bugs Of SdltPetre.-
The destructive fire which destroyed several Of
tho divisions Of the South (stack) warehouses Of
tie London Dock, on Tuesday afternoon, turns
out to be more disastrous, in rcapect Of the
amount Of property destroyed, than was ut hrst
anticipated, and exceeds any loss thar has ta-
ken place in London ofrccent years.
The great explosion Of saltpetre, which com.
plctcd the destruction Of the centre division Of
the warehouses, appears to have been felt over
the whole of the Eastern portion Of the metrop.
oils. Nothing like it has been experienced in
London since the formation Of the Fire Brigade,
and considering the quantity Of saltpetrc Zone
report states 9, 900 bags slowed implies on the
first floor, which blew up, It's truly wonderful
that a catastrophe similar in its results to that
which took place at Gatcshead and Newcastle
upon.Tync, a few yearsago, did not occur. Long
before It happened, the tiremen were direct
ing their branches both from back and front in.
to this divisional warehouse, while number Of
men we're on the roof of the adjoining ware.
house. Happily few minor explosions had
induced the tiremen to shift their position just
clear of the building, and to that circumstance
may be attributed the preservation Of their lives,
for when the great explosion came, so terrific
was it, that every particle Of the walls instantly
came down. When it is stated that the walls
were Of solid brick work, three feet thick,
strongly welded together with iron bolts and
ties, and that they were blown down into frag.
ments, some idea may be formed Of the fearful
character Of tho conclusion.
