The loss was estimated at $50.000. The Stonington®Steam 'Fire Engine compafiy came to the rescue on a special train and did good service. At the last Saturday morning fire the burning building wWas practically enclosed in a curtain of water, with the firemen having three streams in the front. two in the rear’and two on each end. Just as a full measure and a biz-aid to the firefighters, and with- out drawing from the water supply or reducing pressure, a line of hose was laid from the big force pump of the Westerly Textile company and a large and powerful stream 'of water was pumped from _the- river and helped drown the blaze. Water was played on the fire for three hours, and during thatperiod the records in the office of Thomas Mc- Kenzie, superintendent of the water- works, show that 90,000 gallons -of . water an hour was pumped on the fire, | o total of 270,000 gallons. The average pressure was 85 pounds at the nozzle and there was only a reduction of 14, pounds’ pressure by friction thrgugh’ the bipe and hose lines. The %m pump of the Westerly Textile company, which served as auxiliary, has’a ca- pacity of 800 gafllons a minute. The. steam fire engines of the Westerly de- partment were not called into service.
