The Thames line umpire and several players deserted their posts and hur riedly became members of the fife brigade and dashed to the seat of the fire. A two-storey block of unoccupied shops in Brown Street was ablaze, and the brigade had an arduous task owing to the choking smoke and fumes, lack of wind, however, helped the brigade to save a block containing the Lady Bowen Hotel and 1 houses and shops, the biggest block of wooden buildings' in Thames.
