water that have been played upon them.
The water front for twelve blocks is in

above il the piers OF the Hamburg

were berthed.
The firemen on land were badly handi-
capped in their work by the position
Of the piers. and the main fight was
made by the fire tugs. Heroic work was
done by the tugmen. who dashed be-
tween the burning piers time and again
TO pull out the barges and small boats
which were moorcd there. Again and
again these tugs caught fire. but. having
one made fast 70 a prize, the tugmen
never gave up until it was towed out
