But is Making Hard Work for the
Piremen.
Crew of Fresh Men
Taken Down.
A Drenching Rain Needed to Ex-
tinguish Fire.

The Peaks island fire which Wednesday
afternoon licked up rs 1t were with a
tongue of flame cottages, trees, ETC., and
leaving behind path suggestive of the
freaks of lightning itself was very much
under control yesterday. Way into the
early hours Of Thursday the firemen
fought the flames as they would break
out In the most unlocked for places and
1t was not until 4.3l In the morning that
rest was taken. At that hour fire boat
Engine z, which all night had been send
ing two powerful streams into the burn
ing district, was taken to the city with
some Of the thoroughly worn out firemen,
but she did not remain long for after
getting fresh supply Of coal and fresh
water for her boilers about nine O'Clock
she started again for the scene of the
fire. Chief Eldridge was ON hoard and
with him some Is or 20 fresh men to aid
In the work of keeping the fire within
bounds. NY
During all day yesterday Engine and

In several places once near the church
and smoke could be ssen curling up near
the cottage of Robert Godld's, hut there
were no such wild scenes as those of the
day before when the flames fairly leaped
from tree to tree. The fire over a large
tract of land WAS smouldering under the
ground and the peat formation afforded
an excellent and deceptive conductor. AS
one fireman expressed it, "All we have
to do is kick up little earth with our
feet and underneath We md a fire. 1t
turks in stumps and after fairly deiuging
them and moving on, II we look back
, some time afterwards we are apt to see it
break out again."
Four teams were engaged yesterday in
Juggling hose and the enormous amount
of 10, 900 feet has been laid on the island
over rocks and hills, through the brush
and In the hardest conceivable places.
The boats took position at Wharf cove and
yesterday morning the wind took a sud
den turn and carried the fire into this
brush within stones throw of the boa t,
and almost to this waters edge. The men
for the greater part of the day were work
ing at distance of about three quarters
of mile from the shore carrying the hos,
from point to point as occasion required
The wind yesterday was not SO violent al
that of the day before and no.loss of prop
erty is to be noted but the danger is b,
no means over and unless a soaking
drenching rain soon comes the work Of
the fire department is by no means ended
Among the spectators yesterday wa
Harry W. Young, proprietor of Young
hotel, Auburn, who found only tn,
charred remains of the cottage which h,
had intended to occupy next week. 1t Il

Chief Eldridge after hard days wori
returned to the city about 4 pm. and his
place was taken by Captain Payne, frs
assistant, who took charge OF the nigh
work.
