One OF the worst features OF the
fire, and feature fraught with more
serious consequences for East Boston
was when the Tide water OIL com.
pany and Leonard q Ellis OIL com.
pany, on Chelsea river. opposite the
Standard oil works. on Saratoga
street, caught fire.
Fire Commissioner Parker massed
, apparatus on Saratoga street to meet
the mergency and there was
plenty of need for 1t. for within ten
minutes after the tanks OF tho Tide
water OIL company began to explode
no less than half dozen hres started

Commissioner Parker said that Bos-

gone with about 1900 feet OF hose. and
two of the engines on the old Chelsea
bridge had been abandoned.
After the tanks OF the Tidewator OIL
company had begun to explode the
blaze worked back along the water
front to the Leonard a Ellis plant.
consuming thousands OF barrels OF oil
In its course.
OIL barges at the wharf OF the
Tidewater Oil company. with $4,000
gallons each became enveloped In
flames. and the first great danger OF
these was that they would drift across
the narrow river TO the Standard OIL
plant and ignite part of the plant
here.
The force OF the Standard OIL COM
pany was used with every means to
protect the tanks and barrels and
get the two barges out into the har-
Dor. Two tugs, Confidence and Fos-
ter. attacked the burning barges and
attached hawsers 10 them.
The entire river seemed enwrapped
in flames and dense smoke. Every
once In awhile one OF the tugs would
emerge from the smoke and would be
seen attached to different parts OF
the barge and attacking them, pushing
and showing and lighting to keep them
away from the Standard OIL wharf.
In the meantime the Are boat had
eight streams on the Tidewatsr prop
erty but so dense was the smoke that
Il was impossible TO see what pro-
gress was being made.
The IRE crept up the water front,
kissing and eating everything before
II and finally enveioping a tank OF
the Leonard a. Ellis company. This
went--up with a sort Of deep growi
but the force OF the explosion was
so great that II cleared the space
OF the dense smoke for q few moments,
so that the burning city was visible
for few minutes. Then the heavy
smoke settled down again. Soon an
other tank went up and the same
thing was repeated with thousands OF
people fleeing In all directions.

several box factories, the Crown Plate

company building, a chalk factory and
many other manufacturing plants. All
the business blocks on Broadway
from Chelsea Square east to the Bos-
ton e. Maine railroad tracks were
wiped out.
The rapid progress OF the fire during
the first three hours following its
start at II o'clock is indicated by
the fact that at o'clock the flames
we're In control OF a section OF Bel
lingham Hill. where some of the fin-
est residences were located. So swift
ly did the fire assume the proportions
OF a confagration that many OF the
poorer people living in the tenements
to the north OF Broadway had no time
TO save any OF their household effects
They fed in fright before the advanc-
ing fire and at 2 o'clock a number OF
desolate families had sought refuge In
Union Park which was roped off for
the use OF the homeless and the pre-
seryatlon OF as much property as had
been rescued. Many children sick
with typhoid fever. measles and diph-
iberia were shurriedly wrapped in
blankets and hurried through the
streets to the nearest place OF safety.
In some instances the children we're
moved successfully three or four times
as the flames advanced.
Before the fire had been burning
half an hour the Chelsea fire chief
began calling for assistance from Bos-
ton and Everett and before he finished
all available apparatus within a rad
ius OF twenty miles OF the burning
city was hurrying 10 the scene. En-
gine companies came from as far
north as Lynn and Salem and from
Quincy. Brookline, Waltham, Somer-
Vile. Everett. Revere. Winthrop. and
other towns.
II was stated by one fire lieutenant
that there were 30 many engines
sucking water from the mains at the
same time that some OF the steamers
were unable to send a stream fifteen
feet into the air.
The police force Of Chelsea was in
adequate TO cope with the situation
and recruits from Boston were hur-
ried across the ferries.
The militia were called upon and
a number of companies of the eighth
regiment under Col. Sweetzer respond

service aiding the terror strick-
