From 1741 A True and Historical Narrative edited by Amy On the 2nd of April last, a Fire broke out by Accident in a Smith's Forge in Savannah. It consumed almost one whole square. In the highest Rage of the devouring Flames, Mr. Thomas Jones stood like an idle Spectator with his Hands in his Bosom, and with the utmost Unconcernedness, insomuch, that when he was applied to by several of the miserable People for a small Quantity of Gun-Powder to blow up an adjoining House in order to prevent the Fire from spreading, his Answer was, “I can do nothing in it, I have no Orders concerning such Matters.”
