The following is taken from a manuscript account of the fire
that happened in Boston last Wednesday night. . .  [19
lines, list of owners of buildings burned.]  Instead of
ringing the bells as usual, the soldiers beat to arms, by
which the people were in great confusion, not being used to
such signals in time of fire. . .
