which backed into the factory and
leaped across the street To the south

the broad street, sweeping everything
in its path.
At 9:i5 the fire was gotten under
control. The high brick wall OF the
deserted Southern Pacific Office at
Fourth and Townsend streets acted as
barrier over which the flames could
not work. The water furnished from
the bay by the Oakland engines and
Southern pumps soon had the outer
edge of the fire subdued.
In addition to the destruction of-the
mills. factories, foundries and hotels,
over fifty dwellings are destroyed.

any bodies are in the ruins or not.
