(The) next year a second misfortune came upon the unfortunate city, namely, a great fire. Out of the blue it started in a baker’s shop, and aided by the east wind, rapidly consumed the wooden houses of which a large portion o f the town was built, raging for a few days. Even the great cathedral of St. Paul’s was destroyed by the fire, which, leaping across the narrow streets reached right to the banks o f the Thames. But the disaster did much good. It destroyed many of the dirty, unhealthy streets, and swept away the homes of disease, enabling better houses to be erected in their place. II. Sir Ralph the Rover was a wicked pirate who sailed about from sea to sea attacking the innocent merchant ships and robbing them of the cargo. One day he came to the coast of Scotland and saw a dangerous rock on which a bell had been placed to warn the sailors of the presence of danger. Sir Ralph thought that if he removed the bell, merchant ships would be wrecked upon it, and then he could easily rob them. The great pirate rowed to the rock in a small boat with a party of sailors and cut off the bell, which sank down into the deep water. He then sailed away across the sea and enriched himself in various parts of the world. After about a year he returned and reached the neighbourhood of the famous rock. A thick fog came on, and he could not tell where he was, though he feared he must be somewhere near the dangerous place. How strongly he wished now that he had not cut off the bell from the rock!
