Of the "bumboats.7 Before these bumboatS became
popular, there used to be regular docks along the
Hudson where one could buy provisions OF every

The fire department was called out al

4S, to extinguish fire in the cottage No
500 South Grand avenue, which is owned
and occupied by David Hennessy. A
watchman at the cable compsny's power
house first discovered the fire, and broke
in and informed the family, who we're
sitting in the parlor all unconscious that
anything was wrong. The fire, which is
OF unknown origin, started in the hall
and but for the prompt response of the
department the entire structure would
have been consumed. The boys had the
flames entirely extinguishad before they
had gained much headway, and the prin-
cipal damage was by water. The loss
will be about $500, and is thought to be
fully covered by insurance.
