of tile the great necessity necessia essit of an increased pressure in the water mains the firemen found it impossible to get a stream of water from the hydrant on to the burning building with any forces for ceas the pressure at the nozzle was only 12 or 14 pounds though the firemen worked faithfully they were delayed until the steamer was brought into action beffie obtaining sufficient water wherewith to operate successfully another hindrance was quite noticeable hundreds of persons men and women boys and girls rushed into the alleyway which was the only means of in ingress gress from the street to ti the ie burning b gilding building and there they remained or ran to and fro interfering with the firemen and hindering them in their work A few of those who did not belong to 10 the
