Difficulties; Building Entirely Wrecked Working under extreme difüculties owing to the fact that the seat of a huge blaze which destroyed e large Chinese sauce factory and severely damaged an adjoining building, was situated in a labyrinth of narrow passages in an alleyway off Avenue Edward VII, French firemen succeed. ed in bringing the conflagration under control after over two hour's work.
Four engines were required to attack the flames and many lengths of hose were run from various points on Avenue Edward VII into the narrow alleyway in which were situated the burning buildings. As far as could be ascertained last night by a "North-China Daily News" reporter at the scene of the outbreak no one had been injured during the blaze which, at one time, was a raging inferno.
An alarm was raised shortly after 430 p.m. and as the firemen arrived very shortly afterwards it was seen that to bring the fire under control would necessitate working under great difficulties.
