Rv the time the firemen arrival. the flames
were bursting from all the church windows.
A special call was sent in, bringing all the
engines in Brooklyn and Williamsburg to
the fire. The flames spread with almost the
rapidity of lightning and sparks flew in all
directions. The greatest excitement pre-
vailed.
All the people in Hotel Regent, adjoining,
were just getting ready for dinner when the
fire was discovered. They fed from their
apartments, leaving everything behind
them. The flames shortly afterward spread
to the hotel. All the hall boys and servants
formed fire brigade, and after a hard fight
they succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but the hotel again caught fire, this time on
the seventh floor, in an air shaft. The men
were unable to cope with it, and pretty soon
the upper floors of the hotel were in flames.
At last, the men had to forsake their posts
and seek safety in the street. The firemen
could do nothing in regard to the hotel
other than to keep the flames from spread
ing to the adjoining houses. Their lines of
hose were short and would not reach the top
of the building. Neither did they have a
water tower.
