A somewhat unusual incident occurred at a fire which took place at Haubnry’s whuvf, near Blackfriars bridge, on the Surrey side of the Thames, and in immediate proximity to Nelson’s meat stores. When the fire was at its highest a black mass was seen floating towards the Middlesex shore. It was some time before the situation was understood, but it was then seen that some thousands of rats, finding their quarters on the Surrey side attacked by fire, flad taken to the river, ami for self-preservation had commenced the task of swimming across the Thames. The swiftly running tide carried them a considerable distance out of their projected course, and during their passage—a most disastrous one, seeing that some hundreds of their number were drowned during the journey—the spectacle was one of the most exceptional kind, tho excitement of the onlookers being aroused to a high pitch. It was computed that about 10,000 of tho rodfeuts actually crossed the whole distance from Blackfriars to tho iddlesox shoroi'bnt unhappily for them there was no lauding place, and they were unable to climb tho smooth walls of tho stone mnDaukmont. With the cxcont lo ” comparatively small a of them - - number, tno whole perished. Since the days of the 1 Fied Piper there has been no such holocaust. Dr >S.
