No such scene 'has -been wib nessed before m the town, the lurid g-aro shoAving up the district for 4»iles around. At 2 o'clock there was" no sign of -the outbreak, whioh burst forth .with dramatic suddenness. The fire brigade responded quickly to the oall,^ but it was at once evident that the outbreak had i obtained the mastery- and that there! was Btot^ tile slightest hope of .saving th« Theatre R<Jyal'. The energies; of the firemen, were 'directed to saving, iif possible, the buildings on the opposite md* of^ Devon street, .{ four -pi which were speedily enveloped m., flames. The heai was so iutehse-that tlio. firemen wocked under tlie g^^atest ditfiqulty and ' witl considerable danger, but; they mjanfallj ' etiick to their task, and eyentitally gol the control on that side os the ' street 1 though the four shops suffered severely and the adjoining shop of Mollisoii's wbi only savod by supreme effoH. The whoh of the theatre block whs destroyed up t( and including Veale's stoi*e,^ where * brick wall" helped to stay its progress.
