imminent seemed the danger, that all
thing portable was removed from the
hotel.
The flames leaped across Bay street
In half a dozen places, and shortly be-
fore midnight it became apparent that
the whole block south of East Yelling
ton street from the Queens hotel and
the cid Manning residence, facing on
Wellington street, was doomed. The
Gordon-MaCkay building, on the north
west corner of Front and Bay streets,
which, for nearly seventy years, was
ore Of the finest establishments in the
city, made a fierce blaze. The Copp
Clark building and Warwick Bros. &
Rutter's was destroyed at about the
am time. The heat was SO great and
the smoke and flying embers so thick
that the firemen were absolutely help
less, and could not get near enough
to the fire to play a single stream
upon it.
Exploding Giant Crackers.
To add to the terrifying effect of the
scene, came a bombardment of ex-
ploding giant crackers and other fire.
works stored in the Copp Clark build
ing.
The fire next leaped across Front
street to the Mcpherson Bros boot
and shoe warehouse and adjoining
buildings.
In As minutes the flames had leveled
every building between Front street
and the Esplanade, on the west side
of Bay street.
The firemen who had been forced tc
retreat slowly on Front street and the
Esplanade concentrated their forces
and made another desperate stand
They failed this time. The flames
leaped across the street below Front
street and destroyed Mclaughlin Co.'S
flour mills at the southeast corner of
Bay and Front. From there the fire
took an easterly course toward Yonge
street and dangerously near the
wharves. On the southwest it burned
itself out for lack of fuel. The flames
were also spreading toward the east
along both sides of Front street and
the south side of Wellington street.
FOur-StOry stone Barrier.
The custom house, a four story
stone building, at the corner of Yonge
and Front streets, was the barrier that
stopped the progress of the flames to-
wards the eastern end of Front street.
Tons of water were thrown against the
sides of the custom house. That struc-
ture was not seriously damaged. Dyna-
mite was used on several small build
ings.
Hundreds of streams of water are
still being poured in immense deposits
of glowing embers, but the fire has
spent its force and all danger has
passed.
