addition to the precautions taken by Chief
Paris men to prevent this the engine COM
pany in the navy yard was called out.
Special attention was paid to the magazines
and the ship houses. Streams of water We're
thrown about and it was not until after the
sparks from the mill fire had ceased fall
ing in the yard that the local company
went out of service.
Many piles of lumber in the yard We're
charred and rendered valueess. A high
wind blowing at the time of the fire made
the work OF the engine men more difficult
and caused the flames to spread more rap
idly than they otherwise would. In addi-
ton to Chief Paris and his corps of assist
ants, Commissioner Wight, Major Syl-
vester Captain Austin and a big de-
tail of officers were upon the scene to rem
der assistance. About five years ago Mr.
Smith suffered a loss of several thousands
