One edge at least of this mass of flame is clearly observable on the verandah of the top flat of No. 367. On one side of this verandah there has been intense heat, melting glass objects standing there, and on the other side, some wooden objects have hardly been charred.
(d) Burning of remainder of commodities.
This phase is simple; the rest of the material, and that in No. 2 Godown,
was by this time thoroughly fired at all points.
It may here be remarked that the strong construction, and the strong dividing wall, in No. 5 Godown has saved most of the commodities in the right-hand end from destruction.
4. CONTENTS OF No. 5 GODOWN.
I have surveyed the stocks in No. 5 Godown, and in collaboration with Insp. Shaw, the Plan "1" was prepared. The following is a list of the complete con- tents of No. 5 Godown, stack numbers corresponding with those on the plan No. 1. A number of the commodities fall within the Dangerous Goods Ordinance; their cate- gories are appended to the list.
Samples have been taken from stacks of special interest.
