Officer Delaney togk word to the steamer Block Isiand, whieh was an- chered at the Dawley doek for th night. and asked for assistanee In re- moving the animals. 'The men on the ateamer stated that there was no steam up and that therefore they eould not lend any help in getting off the horses. The animals therefore had to be left on the end of the wharf, whers the men fn charge had orders to push them into the river if necessary and take a chance of getting them to swim down stream to a landing place rathe: than leave them to dlo in the flames. Spread Rapidly. When officer Delaney first saw the fire it was conflned to one section of the Chappell company’s central build- ing, but n a few minutes it had spread with extraordinary speed and the cen- tral part of that bullding was one roaring, seething mass of flame. The wind at this time, about 12.20, was blowing to the eastward, and the showers of sparks were carried across to the roofs of the Davenport build- ing, the Norwich Grain company and the nearby buildings and redhot sparks were dropping by bundreds in the streets. Lumber Piles Soon Caught. The big piles of lumber alongside of the water were soon all ablaze and then the Davenport building began to catch in places. The heat here caused the automatic srpinkler system to op- erate and the private alarm went off a 12.25. On the other side the west line of bulldings of the Chappell company containing lumber storehouses and coal pocketa oon caught and by the time tho fire department got there there was a blazinz lane of flame a hundred yards long, The heat was terrific from the crackling mass of dry, well sea- soned lumber, while tho old wooden structures made the best kind of ma terial for a blaze. . Unable to Check Blaze. Immediate effort was made to check the flames from spreading to the coal peekets in the t line of buiidings, for the eentral section was plainly deomed except for the brick pertion next {o Main street secupied by Stet- sen & Young. But the streams of water that were played on the building seemed to have no effect and the flames mounted higher and higher and Laurel Hill and the surrounding places were lit up brilliantly. The rolled out of the central section tow- ard either side and on the east great piles of lumber caught and were soon roaring and the wooden bulwark along | the water on the Davenport side also started, and up on the cornice of this building there was a stubborn bit ¢ place. Hose was run down from Wa- ter street between the Gallup and Barstow company buildings and played on the sides of the Davenport bufld- ing and Its neighbors. The private alarm of the Davenport building, which is now occupied by the Storing and Housing company and lesser concerns 2mong them a_demonstration plant of the American Thermos Bottle company, again started clanging at 12.40, but suddenly the wind changed around and the flames and the sparks were blown south toward the river instead of over toward the city. All of Chappell Buildings Ablaze. In the meantime, in spite of all ef- forts of the firemen, the flames had spread fo the west section of the Chappell company’s buildings and wera devouring the wooden coal pockets and the adjoining section where finishad Jumber was stored, The heat was in- tense and no man was able to pene- trate down the blazing line and so there was no way of preventing the spread of the flames down throngh the Chappell company's line of bufldings to the Morgan & Son lumber yard. Body of Man Found. Just about 1 o'clock, In the central section, just about where the fire is supposed to have originated, thres of tho hosemen saw a blackened object Iying on the fleor, and they succeeded in bringing It eut into the open. It proved to be the eharred body of a man, burned beyond recognition, As it was stated that there was no waiehman in the Chappell company’s buildings, it is probable that the man was semeone Whe had gone in there for a night's lodging, and frem ths faet that he was found in the spot where the fire scomed to have started from, makes it probable that he may known the cause of the hlaza.
