What happens
The British forces occupying Manhattan are desperately trying to quench the fire that is slowly engulfing New York. The fire supposedly started in the Fighting Cocks Tavern, near Whitehall Slip, according to John Joseph Henry who saw the fire start from aboard the HMS Pearl, where he was held prisoner. The dry weather and strong winds are making the flames spread north and west, the tightly packed homes and business are easily overtaken by the flames. Seeking refuge from the fire, residents pour into the streets. In the grassy town commons the refugees feel safe enough to turn around and see what damage the fire has brought upon their city.
