Blaze Starts In Big Fertilizer Plant
Next To Seaboard Terminals In i

Savannah, Ga-Fire for five hours
swept Hutchinson Island, the site of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway termi-
nails. The blaze was brought under
control following the dying out of the
wind, which at tinres had reached pro-
portions of gale. The damage. large
ly to cotton and to the plant and stock
of the Southern Fertilizer company,
was estimated to run into the millions.
+ The blaze started in the motor room
Of the fertilizer plant. Famed by the
strong wind, the flames leaped to the
docks OF the Seaboard line, on which
thousands of bales Of cotton and large
quantities of naval stores were piled
awaiting export. Two British steam
ers were moved from the path of the
flames and made room for asscors or
more tugs which fought the flames
from the waterside.
! A heavy smok . sscrse.x xzprtained the
activity on the island from the thou

flames burst through the smoke and
firebrands could be seen dropping on
the warehouses. wharves and sheds to

these structures worked heroically for
hours, and when the wind gradually
died down made headway slowly
