Fire destroyed tie post office and Fits.gerald's general store at Urenui (states a New Plymouth message). The desperate efforts of a bucket brigade saved Howell's boarding house next door, although the wall was scorched. The post office had four living rooms attached, and all were desroyed. The mail matter and the more valuable fittinegs and most of the postmaster's furniture were saved. The lire originated in the store, which was rapidlyreduced to ashes. The flames leaped across a right-of-way, and soon the post office was burning fiercely. The store was insured for £250, and the stock for £l,lOO. The furniture of the postmaster (Mr G. Loveridge) was insured for £250, but the greater pari was saved.
