The alarm sounded Wednesday afternoon
at o'clock was for the fire in the house of
Mis-. William Bassick at the Cove, more
than mile from the village. The fire de-
partment was promptly on hand with
Phineas Pendleton engine No. 2, and did
good work, saving the barn and out-build-
ings. The engine proved in first-class con-
dition, taking water from the bay through
forty feet of suction hose She raised it
over sixty feet and threw it through seven
hundred feet of hose over any part of the
buildings. The engine company deserve
great credit for the promptness with which
they got the engine on the grounds over the
fearful roads encountered; and the officers
of the department deserve mention for the
admirable manner in which the fire was
handled. There was no insurance on the
buildings, and the loss is severe on Mrs.
BaSSick.
