ANOTHER THAMES FIRE.
CLOSE TO LAST WEEK'S BLAZE INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) THAMES, this day. A fiie which seems to have started within a few feet of the outbreak of a week ago was discovered at the Moanataiari Gold Mining Company's battery at ten o'clock last night. It was noticed by Mr. L. Hill, of Tararu, who saw a dull led glow in the interior of the building. On arrival the volunteer fire brigade found the flames travelling rapidly up the walls of the seaward side of the large wooden building. A single lead of hose was sufficient to quench the outbreak, little damage resulting. The authorities are inclined to believe that this may be a case of incendiarism.
