THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON

OI In flirty-lino who have ruled llnclend linee Nome-n Oonquwt, John l: by common consent. acclaimed the worst: end King Charles II i: often spoken of as rivall him. That i: scarcely fair to iarlu, who fliough he often wasted his time among unworthy associates, could rlsetotheoccnsion anddidlonow. He and his bmtheil" the Duke at York (later James II), silmmnned men frmn the Royal dockyards to fight tho IlBlTlES and undertake demolition. “The Duke o! York." says m eye-witness who has left an account of these doings, gained ell hearts by his powerful labours in handling the buckets and giving orders." This had a good effect for "men fell m work with effort, hav- ing soe good fellow labourers."

Charles was “in the City on horseback from early morning. Be rode from place to place. . . see- ing that orders to mann thestations were executed. passing to the very edge at nlhlcll the Fire was bum- hig. and by word and example en- lburaging those wllo tolled amid the oppressive heat to pull down house: ou- to throw water m! the

flames. . Laying regal dignity

aside, the King allghted from his d

horse at some corner where falling buildings added to the danger and himself took a share in the work. handling spade and bucket and inspiring the Gaul-tiers about him to do the same. Bespattered with mud and dirt, his laced costume dripping with water, his hot face blackened with the universal fire dust, but himsclf alert and tireless --this was another Monarch than he whom his people pictured daily- ing with his mistresses at Wat- minster."

By Wednesday the fire was checked, though further snail out- breaks occurred they were subdued

A later historian buys that "pitiful huts were erected for their acoornodation, and for their immediate need: the King sent n. great quantity of bread from the Navy Store: to be distributed md neighbouring Justices of the Peace were enjoined to send in all mann- er of victunlb.”

Surveyor: were sent to carry out the task of- eatlmating the damage. It was found that 430 acres had been burnt over, and 400 streets wiped out. Old 5t. Paul's (one o; idle largest Cathedrals in Europe), the Royal Exchange, the Cilstorr. l-loilse, the “Justice House" and Sion College, all had perished, together with 87 parish churches and many halls, hospitals, schools. and other public buildings. The total loss was estimated at nearly 511,000,000 l. large zum in those

ays. Within foul- years i0,000 houses had been erected. but not of wood this time, “they now live in lofty llghtsolme, uniform, and very state- 1y brick buildings." It was thirty Yen's. however, before the churches were rebuilt, and even then only 5i MIL of the 8'1, materialized. (In London and elsewhere, during the present war, hundreds of churches have been destroyed by file and it unlikely mat all will be rebuilt).
