THE EDEN TERRACE FIRE.

Superintendent Huglaos in Explanation.

The following letter was read at the City Council meeting last evening :—" In re ply to your memo, re fire at Eden Terrace, I have the honour to state that on my arrival at the scene of fire I saw that it would be an extensive one, and then sent for the Grafton contin gent to assist the Salvage Corps as volun teers. Whilst I was endeavouring to stop the fire in a four-roomed cottage a number of seamen from H.M.S. Opal arrived, and immediately threw in their grappling iron and pulled the front of the building into the street, thus increasing the risk of the tire extending. They then mounted the roof of the next cottage with the intention of fixing their grappling-iron and pul ling the building down. I thought it was now time to interfere, and they desisted, and the building is notv standing and the fire was checked. I must say that the seamen and the officers rendered great assistance in forming a chain for bucket service, and also for relieving tha Salvage Corps and my men when exhausted. My action at the fire was more of an adviser and worker than otherwise.—(Signed) John Hughes, Superintendent A.F. Brigade f
