I'cck was consumed by fire last
Monday morning. In less than an
hour nftcr the fire gong sounded
the alarm, "Wehikulani" was a pile
0f nslics and glowing embers,
swirlcd about -by the gusts of wind
Mew ,mrd Qvcr H0 that day
Wjth5n tmt j,our( ; fnct j nu
half hour's space, the men
who
rushed to the scene, had entered j
the house that was doomed, and
I stripped it of nluiost every vestige
!of furniture. The big yard, the
I street and the neighboring yards
t were piled high with thc rich fur-
nishiugs that made the hospitable
1 home of the Pecks so attractive.
Pictures from the walls, fragile chi
na from the cupboards, lace cur-
age resulting 'from the confusion
was remarkably small. And when
there was nothing more to be car
ried out, men still ran through the
house and with hammers removed
heavy plate glass windows and the
big front doors with the flames
curling about their heads.
Never was fire more grudgingly
yeilded its prey. Men were quick
ly on hand to cope with the fire, on
receipt of the first alarm. But they
were without the means. The gar
ret was a mass of flame and smoke
soon after it broke through the roof
and the first to arrive saw plainly
that Hilo's finest dwelling house
and one of the most hospitable
homes was to be winked out like a
straw, while eager hands were will
ing to do battle with the flames.
The crowd wanted to fight fire; the
next best thing was to save the fur
niture. This task was undertaken
with a rush. Through every win
dow and door the rooms were de
nuded of the things that had made
them a home and which had im
parted to the splendid structure the
characteristics and personal attri-
butesofthe family which lived there.
The fire was discovered by. Mrs.
Ppofc ns sho nnssod tlirmiirli Mr
, 0
Peck's room. The only persons in
the house were Mrs. Peck and two
daughters, Stella and Emily Peck,
and the servants. Mr. Peck was
absent in Honolulu. Mrs. Peck
called out to her daughters and the
alarm given by telephone. The
first or among the first men on the
spot were Castle Ridgway, Jack
Easton and E. Fuhr. They rushed
up the stairs and could see fire in
the linen closet. They then went
up the stairs leading to the garret.
They found it full of smoke and
flames which had just broken out
through the roof on the north side.
Soon after the crowd began to arrive.
All the fire hose in Hilo would have
been too short by 1500 or 2000 feet
to reach the nearest and only hy-
, lira lit ill PllllCO.
I T1 ; , , blowine 11 irafe'
from the north and live coals firom
, the fire were carrie(l severnl biocks
( ... . . ..
I away. Vigilant work on the roofs
' of the houses of E. E. Richards and
S. C. Shaw and Robert Hawxhurst,
two blocks away, prevented further
fires.
As soon as the fire had done its
work, Mrs. Peck and the Misses
Peck went to the home of E. D.
Baldwin, where they will live until
they move into the McKay house
u-hiMi vm tPtwiiM-i.,1 in Mr iwt in-
Mr. McKay in Honolulu when they
received wireless notice of the fire.
Mrs. Peck and her daughters went
through the ordeal bravely and
worried more ou account of the I
absent master of the house than
they did over the home that vanished
befors their eyes. Thc house was
Mr. Peck's especial pride. It was
built at the cost of nearly 5525,000
and in this home he had expected
to spend the rest of his days. It
had been fitted up without regard
to cost and into its arrangement and
finish had entered thc suggestion
and design of the various members
of the family. In this Jiomc Hilo
society had been received with a
generous hospitality that exceeded
artificial lines and mncje every one
who witnessed the fire, feel it in
0111e degree as a personal loss
The house was a total loss, cov-
(Cred by insurance aggregating $18,-
000, as follows
A. H. Jackson, agent: London
and Lancashire $4,000? West
chester. f,.i.ono! Nntintml. rwi. I
Niagra, $j,ooo.
Hackfeld & Co., agents:- Svea,
55.000-
1?. K. Richards, agent: Green
wich, $1,000.
V. S. Lyman, agent: Fireman's
Fund, $1,000.
Thc furniture was also insured
with A. H. Jackson for $5,000, the
companies being the Orient and
National for $3,000 and $2,000
res et'tively. In response to a wire
less telegram, A. R. Gurrey, ad
juster and representative of the
Board of Underwriters, will arrive
next week to adjust the loss. It is
not believed that the loss on fur
niture will exceed 25 per cent.
The fire started, evidently in the
walls or along the ceiling just below
the garret floor. Opinions differ as
to the source of the fire. An in
quiry was held before Judge Hapai
Tuesday at which Mr. Mocinc,
Superintendent of the Klectric
Light Co. and A. Richley, the arch
itect who built the house were ex
amined. There were other witnesses
examined. No definite conclusion
was reached.
