street and manufacturing and tene-
ment district on the peninsula bounded
by Palmer's cove, the South river and
the water front.
Still later, a fourth fire was kindled
by brands in the plant of the Salem Oil
company in Mason street, northwest Of
the Essex county courthouse. A tre-
mendous explosion blew up the oil tanks,
and showers of sparks fell threateningly
on that part of the city which before
had not been in imminent danger. This
fire was checked, however, after it. had
destroyed the oil company's plant and
thirteen houses.
The main fire burned in semi-circu
lar path. Originally driven in a south
easterly direction from the foot of Gal
lows hill, the place where witches We're
hanged two and half centuries ago, it
spread to South Salem and then changed
its course and erept steadily in north
erly direction toward Town House square,
the center of the city's retail business
district. For time the entire city
seemed doomed; but the firemen concen-
trated their energies on single point
of defense near the Boston & Maine rail
road station and several buildings in this
vicinity were dynamited and every avail
able line of hose was directed against
the approaching flames. Then the fire.
men began to get control.

Cinders Started Another Fire.

Another fire, started by cinders from
the burning buildings in the leather dis
trict, swept through the French settle
ment. Most of the buildings we're wood

around Lafayette street, near the bus
mess district, including the Glover shoe
plant and the Goodale machine factory,
were destroyed.
The whole of the Italian and Greek
colonies, including go houses and stores,
were destroyed
All roads leading out of the city were
crowded with refugees on foot, in auto
mobiles and in all sorts of conveyances.
Many carried all they had saved of their
household possessions wrapped in sheets
and shawls over their shoulders. The
only trolley line in operation out of the
city was that running to Beverly and
this early became jammed with the flee

traps which he observed in going

eliminates the three wooden triangles
and instead fastcns the screen to the
