Smoke appeared first around the chimney at the north end of the house. and it was at this place that the impromptu firemen worked. Flames Gained Headway Undiscovered Meanwhile the fire raged fiercely within the partitions of the house,» and in a short‘ time smoke was pour-‘ ing front all parts of the doomed mair onion. ‘1 Call for Fire Department. At this juncture. a call was sent in for the regular department, by the now thoroughly frightened servants and guests. The 'Rowayton Fire De- partment. responded immediately to the alarm, and arrived on the scene of action within a very short space of time. I Couldn't Use Water. A line of hose was laid by the Row- ayton volunteers. but it was later learned that Mr. Farrell instructed the department not to use water upon the building, but to fight the blaze with chemicals. These means proved useless in a short time, however, as the blaze which had gained enormous headway soon appeared in all sec- tions of the house. No Pressure When Needed. Water was then turned on. with which the flames could undoubtedly have been drowned out. but at the crit- ical moment pressure failed. A stream of water about ten feet long issued from the nozzle of the hose, and front that moment, firemen, guests and wit messes realized that the mdnsion m doomed. Blaze Made Rapid Headway. The flames which had been burning within the partitions. broke out to an sections of the root and walls of the building. find the firemen were help- less. The roof was the first part .of the building to collapse. and this fell h lhortly after the general appear- , grace of the flames. The blaze, thus given a greater draught, burned more fiercely thsn our. and while hundreds of witnesses and firemen stood help- lessly looldng on. the handsome resi- dence was eaten up by the devouring flames. , ' - The walls soon fell in. and “one of tho chimneys on the north end of the msnfibn. toppled over with a crash. Chief legardue' Authority Questioned. ‘ Early in the afternoon. a call had under its own head, could have band» eled the situation and brought forth a different result. Too much praise and commendation cannot be beatoa’ed upon the vallent firefighters of the Fifth District for their action and gallant conduct during the course of the afternoon. The Belle island Fire Department. under the direction of Chief Jesae M. l-‘errls, arrived early on the scene. and connected a line of hose on the hydrant at the lower end of Highland avenue. Meanwhile the ‘Rowayton Fire t‘ompany had a line of hose laid from the hydrant opposite the .\'or- walk Yacht Club. but the distance was‘ too great and the hydrant much lower than the Farrell house. and the pres- aure was in consequence much low- eretl. (‘aptain Frank R. Stevens, of Re- iiance Hook‘and Ladder Compai's, Rnwayton, was one of the first to en-, ter the burning building. and locatedl the blaze near the chimney on the1 second floor. north side of the house.‘ He was ready to put water on the flames. when told not to do so by those in the house. Flames Burned Themselves Out. While both companies of firemen worked separately from each other, and the water pressure failed to re spond to the need, the flames ate through the floors and sides of the building without interference.

Extra policemen and guests unit- ed in their efforts. and succeeded in saving practically every piece of fur-. share on the ground floor. and all of the wedding presents on the second story. Many pieces of valuable and handsome furniture had been brought to the summer home, from Mr. Far- rell's winter residence in Brooklyn. This was practically all saved. Guests Lost Wardrobes.
