nation nature WAS carried out during the greater part of the morning turn- ed mainly on the position and state of the wooden staircases as the tenants first saw them after wak- ing up and being apprised of the fire by a considerable amount of shouting going on in the street out- side. It was then discovered, from the mass of statements taken, that the staircase at least of No. 162, was the first to be drawn into the disaster.
The fire, in point of fact, started in a number of shelves where joss- paper was being kept, and these shelves were right under the stair- casing. This presented such a for- midable obstacle, with smoke and flames filling it from top to bottom, that tenants living on the two up- per floors did not think it wise, even at that early stage, to trust themselves to this means of escape.
What they did was to get on the roof, where they made their egress into the street through an adjoin- ing house, No. 166. It was shown that several made their escape in this way.
