found that they bad quite enough to
do to save tee r own 1,ves.
Tee destruction of the town was
coniplete within a, couple of hours
from the tine the fire started. Over
twenty, Owen fishing boats and
many salieg smacks were sunk in the
harbee to save theni from the flames,
but three steamers and many other
