DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
A large Watermill burnt to the Ground near Alice.
We received intelligence this morning from Mr.Barend WOEST, who arrived from the Chumie last night, of the total destruction by fire of the large watermill built on the banks of the Chumie by Mr. James ATTWELL Sen. The accident, we understand, took place on Saturday night last. In addition to the destruction of the premises, and, we suppose, considerable injury to, if not total loss of, the machinery, about 200 muids of wheat were likewise burnt. Mr. ATTWELL himself was away, having been called to the Mancazana to attend the funeral of his uncle, Mr. John PRINGLE, whose death we announced yesterday. The family were also away at the seaside, so that the particulars of the accident are very meagre.
The machinery and premises were insured for £1000, and the stock in the building for £500. Report says that both these insurances were effected in the Union Fire and Marine Insurance Company of this city.
Since hearing the foregoing, the KWT Gazette of yesterday has come to hand, and contains the following:-
Serious Disaster at Alice – It is with sincere regret that we learn of the destruction of Mr. James ATTWELL's flour mill on Saturday night. A private letter, dated Sunday morning, says "A Fingo has just come to report to me that ATTWELL's mill was burnt to the ground last night. He says Mr. ATTWELL had gone to the funeral of old John PRINGLE at Mancazana; the family are at the sea. The mill was in charge of a white man named PEDDIE or PERRY, who accounts for the disaster by saying the fire must have fallen among some old sacks. The Fingo could not tell me whether the man had been drinking. It will be a great loss to Mr. ATTWELL. About thirty bags of meal only were saved."
