In a few moments the fresh air revived them. ^ But hardly were they outside the hut when the roof collapsed, with a great crash, sending up a spout of sparks and brands. A hnge~ banner of fire waved where the hut had been. The glowing brands, descending, set fire to the dead reeds. ' Lines of fire ran swiftly out Into the swamp.
