The gas bag ascended until 1t seemed a mere speck in the sky. A groan of terror went up from the thousands of spectators when at last the brave aeronaut was seen descending, for he shot down. ward like a bullet fer some time be- fore the parachute finally opened. Garnerin landed safely, almost on the spot where he had ascended. and was rone the worse for his exploit. and for weeks he was the hero of Paris.

DOCK FIRE INQUIRY ON
Mysterious Blaze at Steamship
Lines Pier Puzzles
Officials.

An investigation is being conducted
by Fire Marshal Nicholson and Off
Gals of the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company to determine the
origin of the mysterious fire which
early yesterday practically destroyed
the company's general Offices and
wharf at the foot of 18th street and
badly damaged the Steamer Newport
News.
Some officials of the company today
intimated that the fire possibly orig
mated in the storeroom and not in the
linen room, where it was first believed
to have begun. Because of the num-
Der of electric wires in this room, it
is thought short circuit may have
caused the blaze.
William H. Callahan, traffic man.
ager of the company, stated that the
fire was mysterious because it orig
mated in a part of the Office where it
could least be expected. Mr.. Callahan
believes the fire started in the linen
room.
There has been no interruption of
passenger service on account of the
fire. although freight traffic has been
temporarily delayed.

The barrage had completely unnerved
the Germans. The British then fought
their way through line after line, fight
ing in many cases hand to hand. Bayo-
nets were used freely.
The wood north Of Queant was found
to be full of Germans with machine
guns. The fighting there was of the
very hardest nature until the British
cleared the wood. Tanks again did he
roic service. Where shells had failed to
break through the wire tanks rolled it
out fiat and charged down into the
masses Of Germans. Those who did not
fall before the guns were crushed, to-
gether with their machine guns. The
streets Of Dury were carpeted with Ger
man dead. Here the British captured
the town mayor, and among other pris-
oners taken nearby were several bat
talon commanders. Mount Dury was
stormed soon afterward, but it was only
taken after a terrific struggle.
