hire, but OF the confagration they thought no
thing, being entirely absorbed in their picking
any amusements. But the smoke grew dense
the air became hot and sitting, the winds were
up, and the fall of an immense burning cindel
into their very midst reused the thoughtless
party TO a realizing idea Of what was in pro
gress above and around them. Looking up
judge Of their CONSERVATION when they saw
themselves almost begirt by tremendous con.
| fagration, which had spread with nearly the
speed of the wind that famed the flames and
urged forward the destruction Their only
way of escape was through the narrow gorge
| down which the little brook plunged, and the
flames were rapidly approaching both sides OF
even that chance for exit!
Not moment was to be lost All rushed
instinctivey for the narrow opening before
them, leaving behind them more than half of
the berries they had picked. But they found
the little brook could run where they could not,
and that precipices underbrush no path, and
the sitting smoke that blew hot in their faces
and blinded their eyes, rendered their progress
slow. And it icas SLOW The ladies had to be
helped at every step almost. Overhead and
nearly oil around was world of fire. Before
them was just narrow way of escape get, and
that might at any moment be crossed, and they
completely surrounded by belt Of FIRE
Eagerly they pressed forward, the stoutest
leading the way, and all encouraging each
other as well as they could.
The air grew thicker and darker The heat
was dreadful. Sparks and cinders fell like
rain around them. Their clothing was repeat
eddy on fire. The roar and crackle Of the
flames was almost deafening, and occasionally
the fall of burning tree crashed upon their
ears and added to their terrors.
At last when some were growing too weak
to 60 further, two had tainted and had to be
carried, and their condition was momentarily
becoming more and more desperate and hope
less, suddenly the wind chopped around and
blew fierce blast up the narrow ravine the
party were travelling! All were instantly in
vigorated, relieved of the smoke in front, and
heartily encouraged. With shout they pressed
forward again, and in about fifteen minutes
succeeded in gaining point beyond immediate
danger, and in an hour more were on their way
home in the railway car.
Their escape was a narrow one indeed. Not
half an hour had elapsed after their escape ere
the trees and brush of the ravine were in
blaze, and their trysting place was lost in de.
LUCE of FIRE.
One of the rescued party told us the story of
his adventure with the rest, and fairly shud-
dered when he came to what he termed the
slightest spot where there was ga smart
chance for barbecue Of Beckett folks
