BRIGADES BATTLE IN DANGER ZONE.
Lomion, Mar. 7. In the early hours of the mior- ning 70 fire engines and 1,100 fire- men from all over London, rushed to the docks to fight one of the most serious outbreaks in London In recent years. The fire prat- tleally gutted a seven-story ware- house at Butler's Wharf, near Tower Bridge, destroying valuable stocks of tea and rubber.
A strong cast wind fanned the flames and scattered showers of burning tea on the firefighters, who mado a tremendous effort to prevent the conflagration spreading to other buildings in the district, which is Are "danger one of London's zones."
The fire fighting towers swayed perilously in the wind. and gas masked fremen elung on for dear life as they dirreted their hoses into the laze. Clouds of smoke rose so dense that they could be seen seven miles away. A large crane Axed to a wall at the wharf crashed into the river in front of a group of firemen who narrowly escaped death.
In addition to using foats on the river the firemen commandeured a steamer Anchored nearby, and from the masts directed streams of water un to the flames.---Reuter.
