We were startled from our slumbers between the hours of eleven and twelve, by the to me familiar cry of " Fire ! " My first thought, upon awakening, was, " I am on terra firma, I can run. " Fires, at that time of paper-and-cloth-architectural memory, raged with SCENES IN THE PACIFIC. 103 astonishing rapidity. Whole streets were swept away in less time than it would occupy to relate the events arising from the sad catastrophe. We were in Happy Valley, situated at that time at the extreme end of ...the town, towards Eincon Point. The fire originated as far in an opposite direction. Therefore people were all rushing towards Happy Valley, as a place offering protection. The streets were full of drays, rushing along with breakneck speed, to deposit goods and all kinds of merchandise in any possible place of safety. What rich bales of silk, and fine clothing, were tumbled topsy-turvy into hastily made exca vations in the innumerable sand-hills around the valley. Some were depositing valuables in the few (what were then supposed to be) fire-proof buildings, which had been erected at considerable expense.
