Fire broke out in the bush
somewhere around the head of
Tuck’s Inlet yesterday about mid-
day, and in the afternoon word
was telephoned from the Cold
Storage plant to the Provincial
Police that dense volumes of smoke
were arising in that direction, and
it looked as if the fire were spread-
ing. A thick bluish haze of smoke
hung over Mount Morse, and the
sun was dimmed, while the smell
of burning spruce was distinctly
perceptible in the city.

Fire Fighting Party

About four p.m. on_ receipt
of the message from the Cold
Storage Provincial Constable Wil-
liam Godson with Road Super-
intendent C. J. Gillingham and
a party of six men left in the
launch Cloyah from the Rupert
Marine wharf with provisions for
several days, and full equipment
to cope with a bush fire. They
had instructions to find the fire
and check it if possible. Although

the thick smoke had been seen at
the head of Tuck’s Inlet there was
some thought that the seat of
the fire might be found to be on
the Wark Channel side which
would mean a long detour for the
launch.

Picnic Parties Warned
Owing to the long continued
drought the bush is very dry, and
the present outbreak of fire is
said to be the first that has ever
occurred in the immediate neigh-
borhood of Prince Rupert, and the
fact that the bush has had time
to grow dry enough for a fire to
take hold is testimony to the
splendid summer weather exper-
ienced here for the past six or
eight weeks. Today the fire is
checked, but the incident should
serve to warn picnic parties yet
again to exercise every possible
care lest they endanger themselves
and cause great trouble by care-
lessly allowing a bush fire to start
from their camping place.
