, a Fire broke out in a Store near Mr. Fishbourn’s Wharff, and before it could be master’d consumed all the Stores, &c. on the Wharff, damaged several Houses on that Side the Street, and crossing the Way, seized the fine House of Mr. J. Dickinson, with two other Houses adjoining towards Walnut-street, which are all ruined. The Loss in the Whole is supposed to be four or five Thousand Pounds. It is thought that if the People had been provided with good Engines and other suitable Instruments, the Fire might easily have been prevented spreading, as there was but little Wind.

This consumed all the stores there, damaged several houses on that side of the street, then crossed over and destroyed the fine house of Jonathan Dickinson and two others toward Walnut street.

In the language of the subscription paper relating to the Dickinson fire, "it was then thought that if the people had had good engine
