Dreadful Fire and Storm Ravage Streets and Ships
Yesterday morning a dreadful fire at Catherine’s Punch House devastated several houses and damaged many more within hours. A second, more fatal calamity followed in the afternoon as a vast and violent storm swept riverside areas, toppled chimneys, uprooted trees, and caused widespread damage to property and vessels along the harbor and at Spithead, with numerous ships wrecked or driven ashore.
