I had a vague idea that it would stop, or bestopped, as fires had been hundreds of times before in this city. I wentalong Sansome Street to Pine and down Pine towards Market. I saw thatHolbrook, Merrill & Stetson's store was all on fire, and when I arrivedat Front Street I saw that the Commercial Block on the southeast cornerof Front and California streets (on the fifth floor of which was myoffice), was not on fire. So I started to go toward the building. Thefire was then burning fiercely at th...e southeast corner of California andBattery. I went to the entrance at 123 California Street and met thejanitor coming out, who said I could not go upstairs, as the buildingwas on fire on the fifth floor. However, I started slowly up. The sparkswere coming down into the open area in a shower, but there was no smokein the building, so I was sure that it was not on fire on the inside. Igot up to my room on the fifth floor and found the door would not comeopen. I tried the door in the adjoining office of the American BeetSugar Company and found it open.
