Fire at Teignmouth: At the Ship Inn, Queen-street, on Tuesday morning, a fire broke out and destroyed the interior of the building. Mr. J. Evans, the landlord, retired to rest just after 11 o’clock and two hours later his wife was aroused by the smell of smoke. Mr. Evans went downstairs and found the woodwork of the bar on fire. He seized a bucket and ran to the river to get water, but when he returned the flames were entirely beyond control. His wife and daughter had in the meantime been rescued from their bedroom by a neighbour named Hook. A man named Arthurs came into the town and raised an alarm, while Henry Jones, a lamplighter, on his rounds informed Captain Drake of the Fire Brigade, and the new steam fire engine was drawn on to the Quay. Owing to the tide being low a few minutes’ delay was occasioned while one of the firemen fetched another length of hose. With four jets playing on the flames, the fire was got under control in about 20 minutes, but everything inside the building was burnt. Mr Stooke, of Newton, is the owner of the property, which is leased to Messrs Pinsent, brewers, of Newton. The house and furniture are insured.
