Sewall was burned shortly after round

apparently by spontaneous combustion.
The ship was in command Of Captain

Baker says that on the night of Sep

Of the vessel and that Captain Gaffrey
ordered the small boats lowered.
While the ~starboard boat was being
lowered by Second Mate Weinberg, as
sisted by Baker and Dixon, the fasten-

occupants drifted to the southwark In

10000 Homeless.

1t was estimated late last night that
nearly 10000 persons are homeless.
Two representatives Of the state board
OF charity were on the scene early. being
sent by Acting Governor Draper. The
Boston charitable authorities were also
prompt to give assistance, while the Sal
walton Army n the Associated Chart
ties made every effort to care for the
homeless. Thousands were sent to Bos-
ton. where they were furnished with food
and lodging at numerous public buildings,
such as schools, armories, etc.
Various halls, churches and other pub
lie buildings in the unburned section of
Chelsea were also thrown open to shelter
the un~fortunates.
The ruins of the burned district are I'M
der guard Of IA companies of the state
militia and marines from the Charlestown
navy yard, and the city Is under martial
law to prevent looting. The soldiers are
supplied with ball cartridges.
The bodies of three persons so badly
burned as to be unacceptable are at the
North Grove street morgue. No others
have thus far been officially reported.
An estimate Of the loss by an official OF
a prominent insurance firm placed the to-
tai loss between $7,5OO,OO o and 100000

RACES Before Gale.
The fire ragged before a 45-mile gale for
more than IL hours, defying the utmost ef-
forts of the combined fire departments OF
Chelsea and several nearby cities, and a
large detachment of Boston firemen and
apparatus,
n fire area, which was In the form OF
an eclipse a mile and a half long and half
a mile wide at its widest part. extending
~diagonally across the city from a point
near the boundary between Everett and
Chelsea TO the waters Of Chelsea creek.
IL, was useless for the firemen to attempt
to check the onrushing flames before the
gale. and the main efforts were to prevent
a spread OF the fire on either side. Their
last stand was taken at Chelsea creek late
IN the afternoon. and for hours a doubtful
battle was waged. At 2 o'clock word was
passed that the iremen were winning, and
with renewed energy the contest was
pressed. At 1880 o'clock official announce
ment was made by Chief H.. A. Spencer
that the fire was under control.
A great many OF the buildings were Of
wood and were quickly destroyed, but
structures OF other material were almost
as quickly and thoroughly Moderated.
All the banks, more thar three-quarters
OF the churches, half OF the business
blocks and nearly all OF the school houses
were wiped out One hospital and a day
nursery were destroyed. In the turmoil
many OF the sick and infrm found diff

Origin of Blaze.
The fire originated In the rear OF the
Boston Backing ~company's works on
West Third street, near the eastern divi-
sion OF the Boston & Maine railroad, all
In close proximity to the Everett City
line. Forty employees were at work drying
rags. TIL exact cause OF the fire Is not
known, but 1t Is supposed that spontaneous
combustion among the rags was respon-
sible. A terrific gale from the northwest,
which at times had a velocity Of 60 miles
an hour, carried burning shingles, embers
and myriads OF sparks to a score Of wood
en- buildings. most of them Of cheap con-
structIon. The fire started almost in the
extreme southwest section of the city and
cut a path TO the end Of Maverick street,
at the southeastern end Of the city, which
borders on Chelsea creek. This Is about
one and a half miles from where the fire
began. g.
The flames spread through the heart OF
the retail business section, about midway
between the two extreme limits reached
by the fire. Among the structures de-
stroyed were 13 churches, two hospitals,
the public library, city hall, five school
houses, 20 business blocks, nearly a score
OF factories and upwards OF 300
and dwelling houses.
