The fire, easily overcoming the heroic efforts of the Volunteer Fire Department, swept south and southeasterly, crossing Second Avenue at the rear end of the Boston Block, burning a large frame building immediately south of, and abutting upon that block; thence, in the same direction southeast nearly on a straight line, thus taking in the Catholic Church; thence onward to the Bay, making a space swept by the fire a large triangle, with an area of from thirty to forty acres.

"Canoeing in the wilderness"
Henry David Thoreau
For two days the travel was southeasterly, through the most broken and tortuous paths, crossing innumerable small streams and rivulets on their course.
