After the firemen had put out a fire to-day jn the offices of the Ital Steamship line, at the foot of West ‘Thirty-fourth street, and had left the pler, it was discovered that the Allan State line pler adjoining was ablaze. ‘Tugs and engines hurried to the scen and for two hours a bitter fight against the flames was necessary before the fire could be extinguished, The damage was $30,000, In the second fire, which destroyed the pler, the firemen were badly handl- capped on account of the cold. At times they were entirely covered with a coat- ing of tce, Many of them had to stop in their work and be immediately treat- ed. In several cases ears and hands cracked open from the cold. ‘The first blaze was caused by the dropping of ,red-hot coal from a stove to the floor in the Italian line office. The clerks, growing panic-stricken as soon as they saw the blaze, rushed out. Fireboats Extinguish Blaze. ‘The fire department*responded ‘to an alarm, and the services of the fire tugs Abram 8. Hewitt and New York were also brought into play. Spreading from the ground floor to the floor above, where a great quantity of baggage was stored, the fire gained a quick headway. But the tugs pumped streams of water into the building, and .inside of half an hour tne fire was out. The second fire was discovered ten minutes after, This assumed big pro- portions at once, and for a time it looked ns if the Siberian, an Allan line steamer, that had just arrived from Glasgow, would not escape. On the dock were great quantities of Scotch whiskey, linen and othef inflammable |!i material, Towed Steamer to Safety. Supt. McNally signalled to the Terese Verdon, a tug that was passing up stream. The Verdon, the Bayonne, the Fred Bergen and the Excelstor, all tugs, responded to the fire whistle. Making fast to the Siberian they towed her out into the stream. Then under her own steam she docked at the West Thirteenth street pler. Two Mghters also were towed out. The second alarm brought out the district apparatus, It was found that many of the hydrants were practically useless on account of the freezing of the water in the mains, No accidents wore recorded, but nearly every fireman who took part in putting out the blaze was more or less seriously affected by the oold. ‘The pler was one of the newest along the river. It was thore that Prince Henry landed when he visited this country two years ago. The alarm of the first fire was turned in by the working of a pneumatic alarin box. The heat cgused tt to go off, and the Fire Department was thus notified, When the fire in the Italian steamship office was at {ts height Supt.
