Port Essington Fire Destroys Key Buildings in Town
A serious blaze in Port Essington wiped out multiple homes and the Salvation Army barracks, government boat shed, several residences, and boatsheds. The fire started at Geo Church's residence about 3 45 pm and, aided by dry weather, spread toward timber before the wind shifted, preventing total destruction. The Inlander steamer was endangered but saved. The incident follows reports of halibut landings and local theatre events in the same port area.
