W. GILCHRIST was set on fire from the sparks of some passing boat, and the wind blowing a gale at the time, the fire was soon fanned to a good sized conflagration. There was some delay in getting water, and before the fire could be got under control, about 300,000 feet of lumber had been consumed. Both the steamers were out, the water works in operation, and three tugs doing their best to check the flames. - The fire lasted nearly all day. ========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ =========================================================================
