J Thousands of people gathered to watch the water front spectacle. For an hour and a half the firemen and ' Vw..i fiirlit A nrvrth luguuttcs nau u ? east breeze scattered great volumes of sparks over the southern end of the city but without damage. Pier No. 2 was to be completed by January 15, by Contractor W. P. Richardson of Jacksonville. Tie Comanche "was tied near the burning dock but she backed into the stieam safely and proceeded south. Estimates of the loss at this time vary from $40,000 to over $200,000. The direction of the wind had much to do with confining the fire to t^e one pier.
