Fire Sidelights
Rev. Gleboff wired church ad
ministrative offices at Sitka im
mediately after the fire but has
yet heard no word from them
It is assumed that plans will be
unade to rebuild, and individuals
and organizations in town, ap
palled at the tragic loss, have
expressed a willingness to contri
bute toward a fund for the
church’s reconstruction. A defi
nite announcement concerning
such plans will be made soon.
The Russian Woman’s Club
baked food sale, scheduled for
today, has been postponed.
Regular Russian church ser
vices will be held later on in the
church parsonage across the
street from the church.
One of the silver crosses was
found in the church yesterday
when the women of the church
were spreading church books out
to dry. A large Bible, with a sil
ver and gold cover, was burnt on
the edges but will be usable.
Birth and other records kept
in a series of books from 1876 to
date were not destroyed, as they
had been moved to the parson
age.
Fire Story
(contiuued from page 1)
was the sound of an explosion.
The smoke was also seen from
the C. K. King residence to the
left of the church, and just as
Father King, former priest of
the church, looked out the win
dow he saw the exp osion which
blew the glass violently out of
the windows as the flames leaped
up. Two distinct explosions were
heard by some, but as the ex
plosions occurred after 10 it is
believed the fire had been burn
ing for some time and had ex
ploded the gasoline lamps.
Prime handicap in fighting
the fire was lack of water. One
stream from a stationary pump
was immediately used to protect
the gasoline storage tanks. Other
water was pumped by the city
and military fire trucks from the
harbor channel. First water was
directed to the rear of the church
but before the flames could be
subdued they roared up into the
bell tower, which acted as a nat
ural flue. The steps in ttie tower
and a landing were covered with
tar and gravel which added
dense black smoke to the scene.
Adding also to the difficulty of
fire fighting was the construetion
of the walls of thick solid beams,
covered inside and out with
siding. By 11:45 the file was
well under control.
First fire insurance on the
church and its contents was
placed shortly before the war
and was carried in the amount
of $20,000
Albert Torsen and three un
identified men were overcome
by smoke during the fire.
