Destructive Fire at Vyborg Endangers Towns Homes
A letter from Vyborg reports a severe fire sweeping the wooden town, starting in a watchmaker’s shop on the parade ground. Drums and bells rallied fire engines, military, and police as walls and roofs burned, with five structures damaged and losses in furniture and stock. The city notes that wood and pitch exports fuelled the blaze, and 1293 recalls a near-total destruction by fire. In Hampstead, Captain Moss suffers a serious head injury after his carriage horse shies and bolts, throwing him onto the deck. The groom regains control, and Moss is carried away for medical care after a professional verdict of concussion.
