The flames had cut off the approach to the upstairs aru the firemm had to break in at the rear upstairs to enable the boarders to escape from their dan* serous places.

The firemen had responded as promptly as the hordes could make their way over the snow, but the firo had made such headway before discovery that the building was practically wrecked in the interior, the rooms ~nd nearly all of the 'furniture beinr ruined jy firn and water. In another half hour everything wonll have beei destroyed anrl perhaps some lives lost. The fire started from the fireplace in the roo?n of a boarder wiio was out at the time.
