shore of the creek and the tenements

As soon as the New York fire fighters
arrived here Battalion Chief Howe,
who was in command. put one question
to the Acting Fire Chief of Baltimore:
What is the exact situation. and
where can we fight for you hardest:'
The flames were rapidly eating their
way to the harbor To the question
from New York, the Baltimore Chief
made answer:
.'Our supply of fresh water is low.
and few of orr engines can take salt
water from the bay. Our men are
about played out ard the fire is sweep

docks. If those go. GOD help us.

To the warehouse district in the
southeastern part of the city and to
the water front the New York appara-
tns went racing. Even the horses APP
narently realized that it WAS New
York TO the rescue. and as they raced
the flames raced after them. Chief
Howe took a good look at the ware
houses. gagged the force of the wind
and looked back at the outreaching
fame fiend.
"Those warehouses are doomed no
exclaimed. but we'll save the docks
and the shipping and the lumber yards
or bust" and so he stationed his men
and his apparatus around the big
houses of the American Ice Company
and the Maine Lake Ice Company, got
his engines quickly into action. and
when the flames leaped from the last
warehouse to the nearest icehouse. the

Then came another shift of the wind.

With the shift of tho wind the course
OF the fire was toward the warehouses

There are green-grocers and butchers
scattered about the city Baltimoreans
getting their supplies from a central
market. The wares for this market
are bought from the warehouse men

warehouses were threatened the cry
went up that famine might follow the
