A major blaze caused extensive alarm last night as a second catastrophe loomed before containment. Firefighters battled the flames while relief funds surged and federal aid was promised. A tent city was erected for the homeless, food was distributed, and a death toll reached four with $12,000,000 in losses reported.
Readable bits show temperature readings and times with inconsistent punctuation. Notable mentions include 15 14 72 8 p m and 68 8&2 74, with references to yesterday and mid. The garbled notes suggest a weather chart or forecast snippet from a past issue.
Fully 150000 has already been paid or pledged toward relief of the stricken city of Salem. The value of supplies, equipment and free services offered by private citizens and organizations defies calculation as Greater Boston and other cities respond with generosity.
The death toll stands at four with many missing as Salem endures a devastating blaze. Early searches are hindered by intense heat, and rumors place additional bodies in the ruins. A renewed fire at 9 30 p m along Derby Wharf triggers fresh alarms and panicked crowds.
