Fire at Savannah Filature nearly ruins silk industry
From Georgia we learn that on the nth instant a dreadfully fierce fire broke out in the Publick Filature at Savannah and consumed most of the building. Only about 352 pounds of wound silk and the eggs of the silk-worms for next year were saved. 2 to 3 pounds of cocoons burned, with other valuable effects. The heat scorched the filature wall and endangered the Council-House, public records, arms and ammunition, but sailors’ efforts saved the town. Had wind blown, the silk show would have been ruined, and up to 7000 pounds of cocoons were at risk.
