The Great Plague of London
Soon a servant woke him up again and told
him that 300 houses had been destroyed and London bridge was threatened.
Pepys went to the Tower to get a better view. Without returning home, he
took a boat and observed the fire for over an hour .
Pepys became the first person who informed the King about the fire.
Pepys also started arranging the removal of his possessions. Many of his
valuables, including his diary, were sent to friend of the Navy Office at
Bethnal Green
On 7 September he went to Paul's Wharf and saw the ruins of St Paul's
cathedral, of his old school, of his father's house, and of the house in which
he had had his stone removed. Despite all this destruction, Pepys's house,
office and diary had been saved.
