From the Greenock Advrrftfer,
METHOD of EXTINGUISHING
-‘■-rtRE.
While our feelings are awake to the
diflrefs of others, whose lu fife rings arc oc
casioned by thole dreadful fires wc read of
in this other countries, let me again
through the medium of your ufeful paper,
call the public attention to a cheap and easy
method of extinguishing the greatest flame
by the application of pot alh,
Ihe firtl time I tried the experiment was
at the fire which happened feme years ago
in this place, at the foot of the Highland
close; the roof had fallen in before 1 was
prepared, but the flames were very high
extending over the adjoining houses, as the
wind direded, and threatening the destruc
tion ot the whole Urcet of Broad close. Ic
was midnight, but tire streets were so illu
minated that a pin might have been difeerned.
The impregnated water was
*j*. .1* u j ana Imgke,
the fire was completely extinguilhed.
On another cccafion afterwards when
the new sugar house was on fire, the fame
application was made, and though late as
in the fprmcr case, and not until confidrra.
ble loss was fuftatned, and with the fame
success the fire was fnbdued, and much re
maining properly preferred. The workmen
at this lalt place who had taken home feme
of the broken wood lor fuel were not a
little surprised to find that it would not
burn. It had all, more or left,, got a
dalh of the alkaline water.
Thar the public may fee what a Ample
ptocefs it is, I will mention the method
adopted on these occalions.
At one end of the fire engine a large tub.
was placed, into which all the water was
thrown ; and frome it, by two men, one
on each fide with buckets, the engine was
supplied. To the tub was attached a barrel
of fweated American pot-alh and pur under
the charge ot one man, who by handfuls
continued liberally to throw the allies into
the water where they soon dissolved.
lam obliged to be p.rticular, hoping
thereby to induce others to make the lame
trial, and if they fiiould be fuccefsful, I
hope they will make it public.'
There may be other, and perhaps more
effcdlual methods for extinguifliing fire. A *
good cock maid, for instance, tel’s us that
common fait is applied to a hold fire, when
dressing a beef ftetje. But I only mention
what I know and have witntflfed, and
which I recommended most earncfily so be
tried, until foroethtng better is found out.
It colls little, while the benefit is incalcula
ble ; to insure success, a barrel of pot-alh
and a tub, ought robe attached to every
fire engine, to be ready on the firft alarm.
Notice is hereby Given,
THAT nine months from the date here
of, application will be made to the
Honorable In ertor Court of Greene coun
ty, for leave to fell the half ot an undivid
ed trafl of land, containing Five Hundred
acres, in ftid county, it being the real
estate of Ezekiel Pak, deceased, for the
benefit of the heirs and creditors of faU dec.
