Crowds Ordered From Cliffs.
The blaze, which started shortly
before last midnight. was one OF the
most spectacular In the citys mis-,
tory. Thousands upon thousands OF
persons lined the river bank on both
sides.
SO great did the crush become on
the Jersey side that the police re
serves were called out to drive the
crowd back to prevent many from
being pushed over the cliffs. On tha
New York side the crowds surged
onto piers and the police were or,
dered to clear the piers to prevent
less of life.
Fire companies from all nearby
New Jersey towns were summoned
Two Rescued Unconscious.
Two firemen were trapped on one
OF the burning piers and were TN
conscious when rescued by com
panions. Many firemen had narrow
escapes when piers collapsed. Sew
eral firemen were reported missing
early In the night. but later we're
accounted for.
