Wlch month ago was at the time con-
sldered the worst ever heard of on the
Cape, but the fremont fire which star ted

surpassed it in the amount of damage

Starting at the above point, it was
driven by northwest wind at a terrific
rate in the direction of Parker's mills,
then toward White Island pond. The
pond Is the most valuable cranberry land
in the world. It covered an area of land
more than twenty miles long and three to
six miles wide. 1t totally destroyed an
immense amount of valuable woodland.
The loss cannot be estimated with any
degree of accuracy tonight, as the men
sent into the cranberry district to flow
the bogs have not returned. It is feared
they may have hard work to escape from
the flames.
The flames have been more fierce, and
ragged with greater velocity than those of
the famous fire of q month ago, owing to
the fact that they had been fed by much
better fuel. The big trees and thick un-
derbrush have had no rain to moisten
them for months and they burned like

destruction wrought. In the villages of
Lond Pond, Half Way pond, White Island
