Excerpt from The Chinese Repository, Vol. 7: June, 1838
The man whose own house is in flames, cries, fire! Fire It is only from the truant boy in the streets that we hear the careless ex clamation, 'fire, fire.' The'city watch is startled, not so much by the words of distress that echo through the stillness of midnight, as by the tones which denote the reality of that distress help i - mur der! Help! Help.'
